Board Thread:New Features/@comment-25404524-20171130232015

I am very against Discussions replacing Forums. The feel of Discussions never feels the same as the nice feel of Forums. Not only cannot users use WikiText in Discussions, it doesn't match the type of interface that Message Wall may have. And some wikis rely on Forum-based activity for their community development. Discussions is insanely different from Forums and I do not wish to be forced to change to the new features of Discussions. What is worse is that it doesn't have any specific nice categorization, so multiple different discussions coming at once is very difficult to organize. It's like trying to find the right messages from a huge stack of messages that come from one single Twitter account that deals with 100% all activity, on-topic or off-topic. Whereas Forums has a more friendly Reddit feel, where one can organize their different forums into different boards, which is far superior in how organized the messages will be in. Also, the feel of Discussions feels far too separate from the wiki itself, particularly when it comes to the lack of wiki background, which distorts familiarity and promotes the feel of segregated internet content.
