User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-24668482-20160908212459

The loss of forums will honestly be disastrous for my home community, where 99% of activity is on the forum/message walls. I just don't see the community surviving a transition to discussions as they currently stand. It might work out well as a complimentary feature to the forums, but a complete replacement? Is there a timeframe laid out for this change? "retiring forums over the coming months" is worryingly vague considering the damage control that will be needed.
