Why don't staff members want to move to Discussions? Is it that they're less or not at all familiar with it and therefore feel uncomfortable, which could possibly be alleviated if they casually started using Discussions now, while the Forums are still around as a backup? Or are there things they are currently doing as part of their role that they flat-out can't do with Discussions? What are they? Depending on the concrete issues you're facing, Fandom staff may be able to at the very least give advice. It's just not a feature they like. I don't like it either: it looks too much like Reddit, which if I wanted to use Reddit, I'd go to Reddit. It doesn't have the same feel as forums and is overall not very staff friendly (we can't customize it to the way we can customize forums, and it doesn't even use the same background as the actual wiki.) It also attracts tons of low effort content, which we don't want, and it never goes away. And to an even further note, the users of our discussions don't even edit the actual wiki, so there isn't even a familiar userbase to have there.
