What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Doesn't that depend on the forums, though? For many organizations, those sites fit the needs perfectly fine. If you don't care about archiving and you would not be totally screwed if the forum disappeared tomorrow, you're going to opt for something simple like that.

Yea that's my issue in this argument too. Saying forums are replacing everything, or even that that's a big problem is like saying "Swords are disappearing from warfare and that's a problem" in the late 15th century. We don't need forums for everything because the format isn't the only tool we have anymore.
