You're booming. Discord search is fine but you dont even need to search. Seeking assistance is easy > join post > get notified when someone answers you.
Compared to forums where you have to create and account post an introduction then deep dive on the forum to make sure your question hasnt been asked before then write up s big detailed post only for the mod to remove your post because it was in the wrong place.
The point is the first step in getting assistance is checking you're not asking something that has been solved one hundred times before.
And you don't even need to be registered to do that in a forum. in fact you don't even need to know the forum exists, because search engines can find them for you.
You're just counting on people having nothing else to do than help people by repeating the same basic stuff forever.
