What is the difference between the "forum" and the "answers" sections? Answered

Seems like the forum and the answers pages overlap in purpose. Just wondering how people use them in different ways.

The forums are retiring in 2021 and are now closed for new topics and comments.

The Answers section is really for more technical questions that have specific, "right" answers.

The Forums are for topics where discussion around the theme is appropriate, or for making announcements.
