User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-3493059-20160909064408

Yuck yuck yuck. This looks so tacky and unnecessary. Bringing in Special:Forum to replace the old forum index was okay. I like the current forums because they are easy to navigate, and discussion for particular topics appear at the bottom of the relevant page. But this new Discussions platform looks ugly and messy. Wikia has a history of introducing half-finished ideas, then complaining two years later that they don't work on mobile and dumping them in favour of simplistic, half-baked alternatives. This will take a lot of getting used to, and I'd really rather keep Special:Forum on the wikis I admin. Ultimately, we want to encourage community members to edit. Unfortunately, by the time my wiki gets used to this, Wikia will probably announce another project that sh*ts on the notion of a wiki even more than this one.
