Forum Channels are a type of channel that's structured as a more traditional forum. It's similar to channels that tried to enforce that everything is a thread, but much better.
* The top level shows posts only - no standalone messages
* Selecting a post opens the thread to the right - it's very easy to browse posts and threads
* Posts are sorted by date or most recent activity
* There's a tag system and you can quickly filter by tags
* There's a combined new/search field so you're forced to see search results
* Your active post threads show up in the left nav section like other active threads, making it pretty easy to see new replies.
I don't know if it's the best forum system ever, but it's pretty good and it's right in Discord. And like another poster said, our users want Discord.
