User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/An update on the Forum retirement plan/@comment-39820823-20191217235215

What is the true reasoning behind this? Like, why are discussions better than the forum?

My friends and I in the Wings of Fire community rely strongly on threads for roleplay, promotions rounds, art contests, goofing off, and more. Honestly, I have no idea whatsoever what we would do without them.

So I want to hear why. Forum replacement will have a HUGE impact on us, so I want to know WHY.
