Depends on what you, and they, mean by online forums.
If they mean email lists - they’re as strong as ever.
If they mean web-based forums, they’ve never really worked all that well – people tend not to like logging into multiple sites to check for & respond to postings - too many sites, too much work - even with notifications.
And… social media has somewhat taken over that role.
