You make an excellent point - and I think you need to be involved in the threads about the Discussions feature. The last time I looked the plan was to have Discussions replace Forums (if I understood that correctly), so get your voice heard if you're using Forums in a different way. I agree with FalcoLombardi99. The forums already work well enough for me.

Flexibility is always welcome. Frankly, the thing is terrible. I wish Wikia would remove it all together. I get wanting to keep up with the times but I'm pretty sure *nobody* clicks on those things. They're more or less Buzzfeed articles, except Buzzfeed is a lot more popular. Like, seriously, I've never seen one person talk about fandom articles. It may just be my friends but I've legitimately never seen a single person share a fandom article on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or literally anywhere outside of Wikia. I'd love to see some data on how many people look at them, but the fact that Wikia isn't open with sharing it seems to suggest they're not doing so well...

The updated version looks a lot nicer, though. I still think the "Recent Activity" tab should apepar on top of it (for all users), though, because that's much more important than advertising Fandom articles. I'd also like the articles to be a bit more related to the wikis they're advertising on -- if I'm reading an article on the Dragon Ball wiki, I don't think I should be seeing articles about Zombie Invasions, a Marvel movie, or a vote for the "top five LGBT couples in Fandom". Sorry for the random rant haha. I've legitimately seen a 400 message thread, with almost each message being filled with hate speech towards TFA. I second this. TFA is just cringeworthy.
