Discord has forums and enabling slowmode means that you can enforce longform content in them. The search in discord is better than any search in phpbb by miles, this isn't even an argument.
Discord moderation is easy. See something, right click, perform action. Automod. Bots. The entirety of the "Safety Setup" section on discord servers. Verification levels. I mean, it's not even remotely close. People arguing that forums are better are either delusional or have never really owned a remotely active discord server.
However, content in Discord servers can't be indexed by search engines. ~Strawberry
