Get off my lawn.
It's not even properly impermanent because somebody else can just archive everything, ironically giving them better overview than the actual members themselves
Do you not know how to properly search in discord? Sure forums are better but a message in discord isn’t “gone forever” if you’re searching. It’s a pretty fast to search too, which is an insanely impressive feat due to the sheer amount of messages.
Discord's search is a joke. You search for specific words and you get a load of results that are... just not that word, at all

Discord search is only really useful if you already know what the message says

Discord is an easy solution for me to find this information at that point. Much easier than generating yet another user account in a website I might use once in my life, while I already use discord a lot.
By the way - you can search for messages you have sent and for messages that were pointed directly to you. Makes delving into old conversations much easier.Of course Telegram and other services like that can help too.
