I regularly check/visit two major forums in VATSIM community, and it appears to me that activity is declining. I wonder whether this is related to community engagement. I know we now have Discord etc, but for me forums were always the way to find out what is happening in our community. My point is, I fear as people leave forum watching, we will loose the ability to engage, and secondly decrease the gene pool of people who seek roles in the organisation.
I could be totally wrong in my assumption.
Can someone access forum access statistics? It would be interesting to see trends in my opinion.

Sean, I agree with you. Initially, Discord just gradually crept up on me and I occasionally viewed it as a somewhat peripheral activity, so I don’t access it any longer.
Now I see others mentioning it in the forum occasionally but otherwise I am ignorant of its activities. Perhaps we need more accent on the forum’s central role.
