Are Forums Heading In A New Direction?

Hello,

Do you think forums are heading in a new direction and are becoming more and more like social networks until basically they are social networks with a forum feature?

Thanks.

Basically. I mean XF is like one big social network, and more forum software are trying to go that direction too.

Yeah XF is very social networky. IPB is heading that way to.

I like the way you think Terry, but Forums are heading towards social networks, no-one said social networks were heading towards forums. One day or another it is bound to happen, Xenforo is definitely closest right now.

I disagree. I don't see message boards on Twitter and MySpace.

But forums are becoming more like social networks, you can't deny it.
