This isn't a decision I made. It's a decision reached by the entire UCP project team, which involves leadership from several parts of the company.

Forums has been on notice for removal for years. We had delayed that for a while, but the UCP brought it to a deadline.

The removal brings opportunity to improve Discussions to make it a better feature.
