Do you think forums will not be anymore needed knowing social networks can create forums and other pages through applications?

I suppose in a sense forums are, but certainly not on as large a scale as facebook is. When you think of a forum you think a smaller venue, and when you think of a social network you think of big corporate powerhouses like facebook and twitter that have a far bigger audience. The word "network" is the differentiating term that separates forums from places like facebook. You never hear the term "social forum" because it sounds redundant. And you rarely hear the term "forum network" instead you hear "forum host".Drogba921 wrote:Forums definately aren't as popular.. but isn't a forum tecnically a social "network"

If you take a look at this announcement: https://help.forumotion.com/t120827-new-updates-upgrade-of-the-toolbar-and-improvement-of-the-mobile-version you'll see that they are attempting to improve the forumotion mobile view style.
I think its hard for any forum company to design a mobile app for their forums that will work well and look stylish. Many smart phones today will allow the forum to be viewed normally instead of using something that is designed for mobiles.
Tap Talk works well with most forums allowing them to be mobile friendly and look good.
