User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-954127-20160908172303

I don't see how this was worth the effort in the first place. Idle hands need to build wikis, not re-make the wheel. Forums or Discussions will only matter if the wiki it is for uses it. I was pro-Forum update that happened a few years ago, but I thought with it that people would use it more. I was wrong.

I'd kindly suggest focusing on being able to do more with Facebook and Twitter, where most of the traffic and conversation happens. Wikia isn't going to get that pie, so it'd be better to work with it more.

Wikia is really about being a wiki provider that stores fan written information about a given topic. That is the number one reason most come here. Communication is not a major reason. Facebook and Twitter have that monopoly.

BTW, on a more positive note, the "nice work!" thing really has seen a nice bit of use the last week. -Hint- -Hint- work on adding to that feature instead. Something people are using. I'd like the feature on the Recent changes page next to the rollback. Actually, could it be renamed feedback, and given a interface to leave a typed or image response?
