Board Thread:New Features/@comment-1595427-20170113051047/@comment-1595427-20170118191730

@Lavamelon It kinda off topic for this thread but as understand it,  forums has numerous problems, including it not mobile friendly, Security issues (Any user can edit any other user's post if they know how), lost posts, and sometimes the email send for new post will be the contents of deleted post. I once ran into a post I could not delete until I edited it because it was tagged with the wrong user.

In fandom's words it was easier to rebuild forums from the ground up as  discussions  instead of trying to add features to Special:Forums.
