What do you think is the current state of internet forums?
Are they still relevant? Do you still use them on a regular basis?
Dead. Forums are to vulnerable and in any case you need to make an account for a forum you should always use a random user name and a random password with a disposable email.

I find that Reddit is usually bigger for most things I'm interested in which is mostly cs related topics.

In what way?
>>62420658
Well, I don't go to reddit, but I do find that nowadays most "forums" are sub-groups inside larger pages. Like this shithole for example.

SQL injection. Millions of forums annually are defaced, hijacked or have all of their users login credentials dumped.

Nah, desu at this point I just use Facebook groups for things like that.
Reddit killed them, which is a fucking shame since Reddit is one of the worst formats for discussion ever invented.
