The main reason Wikia is moving towards Discussions is that it is really a mobile-first feature and Forums wasn't. They don't want to try to make Forums work well with mobile, so they are instead trying to make Discussions work well with non-Mobile. The problem is that Discussions was missing key features that Forums had even though it worked okay for mobile. Wikia now wants to not implement those features into Discussions or delay implementation before it replaces Forums. Most likely they will try the tactic they usually use which is to hope people forget the features they took away or not make enough stink to give them enough bad PR so they actually have to think about it.
