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. I, for one, have mobile and am perfectly fine with forums.

In fact, I totally HATE discussions, even though it is supposed to be an improvement for me. I hate the discussions also IMO, if Discussions were just an optional wiki feature, or at least you can use Discussions and Forums in one wiki OR if Discussions are used in mobile and Forums in PC, then I wouldn't mind. same - I feel like they could have spared a lot of grief just by keeping Forums while they developed Discussions and then maybe getting ridding of it when Discussions was actually working/good. But the best thing for them to have done/to do would be to just keep both and let people choose.
