Dying? No. Shrinking? Yes.
The audience who will tolerate using forums has shrunk dramatically in the last 10 years. Social media has captured much of the younger blood who would have replaced the people that left.
There will still be forums as we know then for 4 or 5 years. But in 10 years? I'm less sure. I don't believe the knowledge would be lost but transformed into something we have yet to imagine.
