I will never understand "forums are best". I've tried, but they are worse in just about every aspect compared to any other communication system I've seen.

People just like what they like, I guess.

The good thing about forums is that, once a problem is addressed, the solution remains there and is indexed by search engines for everyone to see. You can say anything about forums, but I doubt you never fixed some issue by looking at some old forum thread, without even having to bother anyone.

Definitely use case specific.

If you want to learn from a number of car enthusiasts how to address one specific error code with one specific model of car, is there anything better than finding a five page long forum thread and reading a few dozen posts about it from the last few years?
