Discord already has forums.

Tbf Discord forums are so catastrophically badly designed in terms of UI that they're pretty much unusable.

Ultimately if you want good discussion you need the same layout that Reddit and HN have, with indented comments and easily branching chains. Otherwise it's just a chat masquerading as a forum thread which is useless.

The best UI would probably be a mixture of a forum and reddit. A fourm is a much superior model because it lacks upvotes/downvotes and is chronologically ordered, but lacks branching and chains that you describe. Reddit currently is being used more similarly to the forum culture than anything else.

they could be made better though if reddit's death seems imminent because of a beancounter incursion.
