I don't want to see the current Forums be converted to Discussions. Has anyone ever actually looked at some of the top wiki's /d sections and seen the amount of absolute garbage posted on most of them? There is no way you could legitimately hold proper conversation with such a feature.

I like the current forums, and I'm sure many share that sentiment. Forcing everyone to use /d is neither productive or helpful in the long run, as there are still communities who don't even use the Special:Forum feature and continue to use wikistyle forums.
