Hosting Chatter

The amount of times I see people bring up forums is crazy, and it got me thinking about ways we could get Gen Z more interested in forums rather than Reddit and chat clients. Someone mentioned that we should look for ways to mention it over on Tiktok, if it becomes viral that will be better of course. I also have a Youtube channel called The Forum Academy and I plan on creating basic videos for people new to forums all together. Can you think of other ways we could get Gen Z interested in forums? I have a younger member on Alt Forums btw, and he has his own retro styled site. Nostalgia is a big thing and we could possibly get some younger people interested in forums if we can get influencers to jump on the bandwagon too.

Tons of people, including Gen Z, are still interested in forums. In fact, many busy forums exist these days - and they're busy not due to forum aficionados, like say the crowd at Forum Promotion .net, but just average people.
