We announced the retirement of the code powering Special:Forum back in October. Simply put, the code which powers Special:Forum is not compatible with the modern wiki platform we are building for Fandom and Gamepedia. Since then, we have reviewed the feedback from Forums-heavy communities about Discussions and found some specific pain points we think addressing will make the transition from Forums to Discussions easier for those communities. To give us the time needed to make those changes, we pushed back the retirement timeline.
