User blog comment:BertH/Migrating Forum Content to Discussions/@comment-24302820-20170815063640

I don't like it. Most of the discussions on the forums on my site aren't about one particular page. They can be about proposed pages, collections of pages that are not a specific category, conversations about the site in general, or just general discussion about the site's subject. Forums are perfect for this; Discussions just don't work for us.

It's bad enough that the Talk pages are now hidden away from the casual viewer--where specific page discussions should ideally be taking place. I just really don't like how the look and feel of our wiki will be detrimentally affected by comments at the bottom. Imagine reading a serious or scary page, but when you get to the bottom there's a bunch of posts going, "OMG! Look up there!"
