As much as the possibility of a BBS resurgence could happen I wouldn't count on the IRC to happen unless there is an actual need since Discord was intended to supplement the forums.
ALTHOUGH on that note I don't know how often discord goes down or whether or not it's accessible to everyone.

These forums will always remain available in an archive but I think if this kind of platform were to really reemerge, a fresh start would be best so new users don't get lost in decades of old content.
No I get where you are coming from and honestly... I kind of agree that if there was an spike in demand for the BBS format for online communites that come back into demand then it would be for the best to have a fresh start in the same way there was a reset of sorts back in 2014.
That's only if what I'm thinking actually comes to fruition given current events on the internet.
