I think there's quite a lot of older people / devs on nostr who grew up with forums tho.

I mean forums are still going strong within niche communities. They never went away!

Only game companies keep them alive still paying for IPS. Very few like ggg using a heavily modified phpbb forum. I would keep forums alive if I had free hosting. I was always a fan of the addon to get points on posts & use them in the forum shop. Making badges to display in profile & mini stats.

That's not true, there are plenty of small forums which never stopped.

They usually ask members to donate.

What do you think of Zulip? It's advertised as a chat but it's a forum in a different UX.?

zulipchat.com

Never heard of it. Will look properly when back home:)

Had a quick look, looks a bit like discord.

I think there's pretty much no need to improve the UI of a bulletin board tbh

Did you actually use it? The site & app have different looks. But yeah ui similar channels left forun topics on right. The channels being the forums & you create topic name. Different it is!
