I don't know when they introduced it, but at some point, in some servers, I noticed a new channel type: forum. The fact that this is a thing is the greatest proof that Discord is not the end all, be all solution to communication.

Nothing is, really. One thing I really enjoyed about the 00s web was its diversity, because different things had different places and different formats, and the ever-lasting stakeholder grasp wasn't as successful at trying to put people in one place to show them ads and drive engagement to please the statistics gazers.

The "forum" was introduced within the last year or so.
