Well, by "can't", I meant that Wikia won't allow it. Just like new wikis "can't" have forums. It isn't because of some compatibility issue; its because Wikia just won't agree to turn it on.

Well, you'd have to ask Fandom staff directly to get an answer. It's also possible that the general rule doesn't apply for some wikis for political reasons... this has definitely been the case in the past. That said, two of the wikis that have both that I admin at are hardly likely to be so favored to Fandom staff to make such an exception, so I'm guessing if you already have Forum and want to keep it, Fandom staff will allow it unless they suggest archive before migration and you don't tell them to keep Forum.
