Aside from the civil conversations. There is a wealth of knowledge that is embedded with the membership and is shared for all those who want to learn.

I’m a late bloomer - this forum is a first for me.  Was pleasantly startled by the overall civility and thoroughness of members.

Discord is getting quite popular.....the younger generation has shifted from a traditional forum to the discord app focused on a topic of choice

Forums are just the logical extension of BBS forums which existed back in the 80s.  If they've managed to stick around 40 years I'd imagine they'll be around a bit longer.

Everyone chatting about Discord this and Discord that.  IRC with a fancy interface ...

I have dabbled on discord, particularly for things like special interest conventions but found it to be a bit clunkier than a traditional (well managed) forum. 
From my perspective as one who comments and periodically will initiate a thread here, things are right on track.

I'm a huge fan of forums . I have met great people from all walks of life on many different ones. This forum fast became a favorite . Such a rich community and a wealth of knowledge.  I originally just wanted to order a cigar or two. I ordered more than a couple on 2424! I don't see an end to web forums anytime soon. I've been a member of various ones since the mid to late 90s

I think I would maybe reframe this a bit. I don't think its a question of the medium. I think its a question of what it accomplishes. In this particular case, we've all stumbled across something magical that accomplishes a certain need that we all have to connect and persist as a community. As long as that works, we'll stick around. But if a better "tool" comes along that enables us to still get that feeling out of it, then we'll simply shift to that.

In today's culture of the next best thing showing up sooner and faster, its really tempting to jump try and find a nail for the new hammer. But I think the question we should all be asking ourselves is, why am I trying to put the nail in the wall in the first place.

I regularly visit about 8 forums including this one.  I've met up with people on forums across the world and have hosted people from all over the world.  Great way to meet people beyond your own locale with a high probability of caring on well in person.

what a great coincidence that I started smoking habanos just about at the advent of the internet + forums :) 

++ can't even imagine how someone could've figured out the crucials without lots of help

Haha, I remember MySpace.

You all have done very well to preserve and provide a great community of knowledge and help here! Looking forward to many more of them 👍 

Thanks 🍻

The greatest atrocity in this forums history was the cessation of LFTW/H. That absolute carnage was the best. Also how Ken is still here has got to be the world's greatest mystery.
