I think part of it is also that hosting a Discord server is easier, but it really makes finding information more difficult. It used to be that you could just search up a question and find a simple answer but now 9 times out of 10 you have to join a Discord server or do something else that requires an account in order to access. It's pretty inconvenient.

I'm sort of glad now for the many (somewhere around 5) times I was about to create a discord account and didn't for higher level distraction (namely things like chess). Distractions are a hierarchy nowadays and we need to make sure the rulers are well-deserved. And I think scioly is a good thing to get distracted on, whether it helps you legitimately study for a science competition or not. (it does, but it also gets me distracted frequently. I think it's a good balance.)
Never said it wasn't a good thing to be distracted on, or that being on here implied that you had a high attention span. The Discord moves much faster than the forums, though, and changes topics quickly. I'm guessing people enjoy that more than waiting for posts on a forum that stays on-topic more often. In Discord there's usually a good 3+ conversations going on at the same time and a billion channels that you have instant access to. You don't have to go through the trouble of sending forums messages, either.

It's not as fast as Discord, though. Replies are slower and the interface is also somewhat clunkier than Discord.
I think you're missing the point here.

I'm not missing the important point, I'm missing the random argument points. Even if I don't have strong arguments, the forums are just better for some reason.
