Forums are like Cafes...not everyones cuppa tea 
Like Cafes, you come into forums to be with familiar faces and just chill out, chat about something serious or just jibber about some bullshit that happened during the day. At a Cafe you have friends whose shoulder you can cry on, whose back you can slap, you can play footsies with under the table etc etc.
Unfortunately a majority of people see a website with 'GAY' in the title and and the first thought is 'Hook up' as is apparent in some of the introductory posts which more than often end up being their only posts.
Forums will survive because there is nothing like having a coffee and a chat with someone in Canada, USA, UK, France, New Zealand, Australia in real time all at the same time.
