Young people tend to use social media such twitter and facebook but
having forum board would be fun too. It easier to access.

hurm.. https://ask.fedoraproject.org should be sync with stackExchange
just like askubuntu.com does. I know it already debates about it, but
just look at how sucesfully and active of askubuntu.com compare with
ask.fedoraproject.org

note : unix.stackexchange.com is available but too mixed up with other
disto, been specific would be better

It not going to be replace, look at *BSD sites, they also have web
forums but people tend to use IRC, mail list. Always keep the option for
user.

BTW my country blocking IRC ports, there is option to use freenode irc
chat or proxy/vpn.

Having mail list is the best option and now we have forum.. any of thus
are great.

All the best for Fedora. Keep the good work!
