Even though I highly disagree with Discussions and think it's the most horrible thing Wikia has ever done, I don't think this thread makes sense... Staff might not pay attention to this and you cant give Wikia no choice. They have to be offered with something they can work with. They will not scrap a project they have been working on for a year which they even held meetings for, the community connect meetings, bringing in Users from all over the globe which was probably expensive for Wikia. You have to look at it from Wikia's side too...

I guess option 1 could be the most possible work-around so they won't lose any progress but it's pretty redundant to have 2 forum features functioning at the same time. Discussions is horrible right now but I am sure it could end up as a good replacement for the forums eventually, maybe even surpass it. All I hope is that they could hurry up implementing things and make discussions have all the functionality the forum has, at the very least.

As for the /d users... We'd just have to tolerate them and hope they get used to behaving appropriately in the long run. As we get more and more features to handle Discussion Users, threads, and posts it would get easier for everyone eventually. I just hope the mass surge of /d users won't overpower local staff on wikis when it's fully implemented globally, that's probably the worst issue. Too many people on /d to watch over.

So yeah, I don't really think any options on this thread would work with Wikia, Wikia just has to implement all of the features we are looking forward to which the Discussions need to be on par with the forums or even surpass it, and hope it goes live ASAP.
