Are you seriously suggesting we just delete the thousands and thousands of Forum conversations, losing them completely, instead of migrating them to Discussions?

We will keep the Forum content and migrate it over. That's been firmly decided. We have an old script that was used up until last year to migrate Forum content into Discussions, so we know this can be done. This script no longer works since Discussions has changed considerably since that script was last used, but it will be the basis of the new script we'll have to write.

This shouldn't take 2.5 months, so we're quite confident that we can answer the questions about the migration process and get things ready to be moved over by mid-January. And even if not: We won't shut down Forums until we're able to preserve the content.
