Fender just announced last night they are closing down their forum for good.

I think we will see this trend continue. Not only are many of those forums expensive to maintain, but they are also competing with other forms of social media - most notably, Facebook.

The Collings Guitar forum closed last year taking with it tens of thousands of posts and much accumulated knowledge.

Then I really have a problem.   6 forums checking them each a couple times a day😮

So sad to hear this.  And don't like the trend.

I feel forums like this offer a bit more personally than just a one way facebook post.

Where we can interact with each other and get to know each other over a longer period of time and content.

I think there will always be a place for communication like we have here - when you need a longer form of discussion, a tweet or a facebook post just won't cut it.
