A very antique form I suppose. Most people use it to refer to platforms that are entirely social - Facebook, Twitter, Insta, etc. Forums still serve some purpose to share information and get help with tech and games.
The good part about Blizz media is it does not share my IP address and nobody expects me to reply in real time/short time frame. I had to explain to the grocery clerk today that my phone does not even have apps on it to speak of so I don’t have theirs. I use my computer to handle the digital sales items before I go. heh
