CzechOut: Your argument is well put, and I can also see why you are still trying to get it to work on TARDIS (I personally would have given up by now and switched back).

The issue of forum discussions bleeding into content articles is a key one. Per CzechOut, the forums should not be a substitute for talk pages. Users need to be encouraged to use talk pages more, and by not allowing us to choose if we want the integration of forums into articles, Wikia are preventing wikis to manage communities as they want to.
