Let's see

-We will live in a mall-sized building

-We will always socialize when we're outside of our rooms

-if someone is offline, that means they will go back to their room to do something else(eat, play video games, sleep, etc)

Forums as a real life way would seem awesome, you would meet more new people, you would live a mall-sized building(and we would have our own Restuarants, retailers, hotel rooms, etc. Is kinda of like living in a open-world(unlike a regular home, where you only have family members and non-business rooms)

Actually the whole website itself would be even a bigger world/home. You would get the reviewing rooms, the video game testing rooms and much much more.

I'm picturing something like Comicon. So you mean the discussions on the forum would basically just be face to face taking place in a large building? If that's the case, we would all miss the vast majority of subjects being talked about. You would have 1 group of guys talking about Mario and another talking about how their PS4 is better so you only get to discuss the subject based on which group you just happen to be listening on. Virtual forums using VR headsets seems more plausible. Text isn't a very efficient means of communication.

How about an audio forum where instead of posts with texts, there would be posts of recorded audio so everyone can actually hear what the poster is saying and hear the context, tone..etc. That would save a lot of mis communications....maybe.

I don't know, logistically, but they'd be a hell of a lot more civil.

I imagine they would be large circular rooms with amphitheater seating in the greco-roman fashion.
