 * As Discussions improves, it will serve more users well and the contributors better. The separation of desktop discussions is an issue.
 * Wikia is happy to admit the limitations of Forums, build a product from scratch to tackle the issue and try implement feedback before a rollout.
 * The Discussions experience opens up the forum to mobile users for better or worse. "Social collaboration" was always Wikia's niche.
 * I think that while its important to facilitate contributors, opening up to readers is a positive thing when done with a good finished product.
