User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-6100947-20160909050435

If this Discussions features utilizes ALL of the features of the Special:Forum system AND more, then I'd be more accepting of it. But the fact that it's completely separate from the wiki itself and does not utilize wikitext ON TOP OF THAT, makes this rather unnecessary. I don't want a Reddit/Twitter feature, I want an actual FORUM feature.

How about instead of migrating Special:Forum pages to Discussions, you guys migrate them to the old Forum:Index instead since you're not giving us a true forum replacement?
