For me personally, if a software project or game server has its own web forum, its preferred way to communicate and talk about this project or server specifically. I would rather register 100 accounts on one hundred forums, than create one account on discord, and be able join 100 communites. I am talking about large communities, and not personal or group chatting, for which i can use matrix or signal.

And what i meant by "no good alternatives", is that there are no alternatives which are both, good as in quality, and actually popular way to host a community and not some niche project.
