Structural change recommendations.
-Lore and Profiles, so people can dump setting descriptions and character profiles somewhere easily accessible
-Announcements, so you can have permanent links like to other forums or a permanent-duration discord invite and announce major changes
-General Discussion, in case anything is too clogging for the discord, requires long and detailed serious discussions with many references to previous points included that don't function well on Discord where people can get away with typing without reading things or having made an incomplete point, or if timezones/active times are simply too different to interact, etc. generally why forums coexist with instant messaging systems b/c they serve different types of purposes and different logging.
that's just a quick list of things I generally see on RP-oriented forums and whatnot.
