Special:Forum threads are very broken. In the last two years, I've seen issues with kudoses, lack of notice when hitting abuse filters/global filters, thread numbering, wikitext/unclosed tags, deleting threads, notifications... These are issues that compound because of how it's implemented on top of MediaWiki and made up of pseudopages.

Discussions fixes many of these issues, albeit with missing features and an updated design. I'm annoyed at some lack of features in Discussions, but also glad that there's moves to replace Forums. Obviously, it can't replace it now - but it sounds like a good plan in the future when it is better fleshed out.
