Thanks for the follow-up! Forum is still in active development and we continue to gather data about the ways it's being used. Already, the feature has been enabled on almost 2,000 wikis in seven languages! Feedback from the community has been very helpful as we look at the next steps.

The Related Discussions module is a key part of the Forum feature that connects conversation threads to the rest of the wiki. We've received some great suggestions around how it might be improved, and we also know that there's some redundancy on wikis that also have Article Comments enabled. This part of the feature does need to remain enabled, though.

Remember that adding Topics to Forum threads will help the Related Discussions module do its job! Also note that it's certainly fine to make your own styling adjustments, as Nintendo and Brickipedia have done.
