User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Updates to Discussions and the plan for Forums/@comment-13712594-20200926134727

Still a very stupid idea to discontinue the forums. It's thanks to the community that the fandom earns money. They should have asked if we wanted this updated but yet it gets forced down throats. It's only a matter of time before fandom makes the next massive mistake with the current corporate heads. It's also a matter of time something better comes around because the big guys upstairs don't listen to their people.

I am not saying discussion is bad but it shouldn't replace the forums. We lose so many options because of it. We can't use scripts, it's a messy UI, sorting is extremely limited, customization options is limited, control options for the wiki staff members is limited etc. I can continue for a while.

I would recommend hiring few good programmers that can rebuild the forums. (make it even better) Fandom earns plenty with all the volunteers at their helm.
