Are the Social Media Channels going to make forums extinct?

[frank]

Hello no. It is never going to happen.

Forums existed a long time before social channels are born and they will exist in the future. See here is the difference people in social channels they are just passing the time gossiping and seeing each others posts. But the people in forums they are genuinely seeking information. Yeah, mass answering sites may take a part of forum traffic but still they are for every niche and everybody. And people in forums they like talking to each other.
