This would be fine, if it didn't replace the forums. I don't see why they can't coexist, or at least make it an option rather than forcing it. (And before you all start being like "It isn't forced if you want it you can ask" it literally says they will be replacing forums with this eventually)

Roleplaying, which from what I have seen is a something a lot of the wikia community does will be negatively impacted by this change, as by the looks of it and by my guess it being a lot like Facebook, RPs aren't gonna be easy to do, unlike how forums, which, btw, work fine on mobile if you use a browser, are REALLY easy to use and can host RPs as well as other topics extremely well, unlike how discussions act. As someone who is a mod on an RP wiki, if this whole thing goes through, we are moving off of wikia as it will become impossibly difficult to RP.

Wikia isn't supposed to be a social media website, but a place to view info regarding a subject you enjoy and to talk with others about the subject in a chat or through forums, like we have now, not a Facebook ripoff like discussions.
