This pretty much means it's gonna be a major step backward from what we currently have. It's much more complicated, has less features, and is way more difficult to use than threaded forums. Fandom should really reconsider this decision because these moves do absolutely nothing to improve their site and will be detrimental to many communities that depend on the threaded forums.

And Discussions won't cut it either as it looks a lot like some kind of Reddit knock-off with absolutely no customization and no way to organize posts with subforums or the like. None of the replacements are good alternatives. They should've just ported the forums/comments/wall to the new version of MediaWiki instead of completely abandoning it. If Fandom can create Discussions, why can't they port the forums?
