I think one issue can be that if your main purpose is just sharing art then why use a forum. ever since the classical times the forum was a place to share and exchange ideas, but art creations in the entertainment industry are rarely a conversation.
Its a case of post and then move on.
Does a forum even need to exist for this?
Now for exchanging ideas, like learning tips etc i can see why a forum would be useful for that due to the length of replies etc, but much like the trend, places like artstation or facebook or drawcrowd provide a faster way to share art with the world and get it seen by employers. It also makes it easier for employers to find your work rather than having to click through multiple threads etc.
I still think there is a vital place for forums, but its role has changed. Its now a place for deep reflection and connecting with the art archetype.
