Is there any audio/video forum? I hate not being answered in forums


Many times when uploading questions or posts on forums end up lost in the web. Any solution on how to avoid this problem?

How would audio/video format solve the problem though?

A lot of communities have been moving to chat platforms like Discord, Slack, etc. They definitely help to get a faster answer.

But in any case, responsiveness depends on the community health and on how well the question is prepared and clear.

I sometimes ask on Usenet or on IRC. IRC messages may get lost (although they may also be answered more quickly if there are enough users); Usenet messages are unlikely to get lost (although they may expire, someone will probably still have a copy, and in general you can still post a follow-up message to an expired article). But to try to more likely to get an answer, would be asking in more than one place, I suppose. (I think that audio/video would make it worse, though; text format would work better for these kind of things, I think.)

Wouldn't this devolve into people asking the same questions over and over?
