On the other hand mobile computing seems to be rising:
It seems to me that what killed internet forums was social media. People prefer to go chat it up on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Grindr or Reddit.In the meantime, threaded forums all over the Net are dying because, 1) mobile-oriented social media doesn't handle the format well; and 2) [bad threads].
Although we are hearing a lot about how dominant mobile computing is, check this out:
Windows is basically not present on mobile, so we have 44.1% of the market being mobile and the rest desktop.In the US Analytics site, which summarizes DAP's data, you will find desktop Linux, as usual, hanging out in "other" at 1.5 percent. Windows, as always, is on top with 45.9 percent, followed by Apple iOS, at 25.5 percent, Android at 18.6 percent, and macOS at 8.5 percent.

Based on my experience, there is going to be a separation of userbase: there will be people on mobile who use it mostly for entertainment, but your more serious audience is going to be mostly using desktops/laptops. Sort of like how there are people now who refuse to have Facebook accounts.Today, by contrast, we spend around 70% of our time on the internet on phones, based on estimates and forecasts for more than 50 countries covering two-thirds of the world's population. By 2019, Zenith says this will rise to close to 80%.
