A comeback? I didn’t know they’d ever gone away.
A comeback meaning that Internet forum models would play a larger niche, yet limited general purpose roles in the Internet ecosystem; instead of the present tiny niches roles of Internet forums.
Internet Forums might best function if diversity, and usage needs information broken down to a dozen or so classifications i.e., Business news, Science news, TECH. News, Health & Medical News, and Misc. news topics e.g., foods, travel.
At the same time, it might be best to limit general news coverage; as well known general news topics might render Internet Forums too cumbersome to analyze!
