I personally believe that both the CLF and the CLD have their uses as others have said. The CLD provides instant feedback for Shauny and a more real time interaction with the clan leader community. The CLF is a nice place to put out well put together ideas and get feedback as well, but less real-time.
I personally find the discord an easy place to find conversation by simply filtering on Shauny's posts and jumping to that point in time. You can get the full scoop by just doing that and you honestly get a better look into Shauny's thoughts there than in a well thought out forum post. If you believe that the CLD staff are out to get people and talk about people in private rooms or whatever then don't take part.
They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I am a legacy leader in these forums. I believe that I should still be here even though I don't lead anymore. I stopped leading because I didn't have the time for it. Got married, had 2 kids, life happens. I have been a part of the clan community and leading clans for over 12 years. Of those 12 years, I'd say I was owner or deputy for at least 8 of those years. I'm not saying I'm all knowing or whatever, but that experience can be used to help others and build ideas to benefit the community. I still want to see clans do well! This is evidenced by my work creating a tool that is free for clan leaders to use.
I grab ideas from here and the CLD of features for that tool, along with a post here letting clan leaders know about it. Does this make me special? No. But it benefits clans more with me having access to this information opposed to not having access to it.
Just my $.02
