Isn't usenet supposed to be a forum? Why don't people use it?
There's still a lot, but they're generally niche or are more business related (eg. answers.microsoft.com). Hosting fees and technical knowledge have lead to many people just using reddit or facebook groups.

There's a ton of support group like ones, often related to certain medical conditions.
