Horizon and forums are two quite different things. Horizon may turn out to be a great way to socialize and hang out with VR friends, but it doesn’t replace the function of this forum as an archive of shared information, opinion, and support. Many people’s first visit here is to find out more about VR, or to deal with problems getting started. A social space that requires you to already be in VR can’t really serve those needs.
Personally, my time spent on the forum is when I can’t be in VR; in a browser on my PC while I’m at work, or on my iPad while I’m sitting on the couch watching TV with my family.

Thanks for that observation.
Funny I had the platform (Horizon) explained to me as a place for social interaction "very much like what you do in a forum" - and that "...we envisage it to be a social interchange point for many things, and will mean traditional discussion boards will be rendered obsolete." [paraphrased].
I like your point of the forum is what you do when you are not in VR.
Will be interesting what the others feel.
