I dont like having technical discussions over forums, its far to slow
2 comments

Funny, I have the opposite - I hate technical discussions over chat, because they move way too damned fast, and I just can't keep track of them and remain focused on anything else - like, say, my job.

Perhaps the difference is that I don't typically start technical discussions - instead, I search for prior ones, which 99% of times solves my problem faster than any chat would.

Assuming the same number of users, I don't see why it would be any slower than Reddit. That's not a problem of forums but of the number of users.

My biggest complaint with forums is the lack of reply indentation.
