@Dessamator: Did you actually see the comment from SlyCooperFan1? If not, have a read since it appears Wikia wants to get rid of forums (both threaded and wikistyle) in favour of /d.

The amount of spam and utter trash that is posted on most /d areas is pretty much a sign that you can't hold any reasonable conversation there. I'd rather we keep the current threaded forums to hold sensible, on-wiki discussions. Why bury the conversations that affect the whole wiki in something that is not logged, nor can be highlighted, to the wiki community?
