 * Wiki-style forums
 * 1) You need manually add your signature (here on just called "sig") and post time and it has no direct relation to your part of the thread, it just shows the date/time from when you submitted your edit.
 * 2) There are no avatars unless you add them to your sig and that makes things much slower.
 * 3) Setting up wiki-style forums is complicated and difficult if your Forum has more than one board.
 * 4) Everyone who can edit a thread can edit anything on the thread including nuking the templates or categories that keep the thread in the index list of threads, so mods and admin have to keep a much closer eye on things or it will all fall apart.
 * 5) Formatting of separate replies is a free-for all. People can follow a standard indentation pattern or not.


 * Discussions
 * 1) As KockaAdmiralac mentioned above, archive thread-style Forums in Discussions have no saved wikitext from the source post/reply, so anything lost in the conversion process is mostly irretrievable.
 * 2) No auto quoting!
 * 3) Still no thread highlighting!
 * 4) No table support.
 * 5) No template support.
 * 6) Almost no image rendering control.
 * 7) No useful text styles like underline, strike-through, small caps, etc.
 * 8) Pre-formatted text doesn't work inline and has a an annoying gray box around it all the time.
 * 9) No multi-level unordered or ordered lists.
 * 10) No indenting with a default spacing (like a tab width or 4 spaces) that respects wrapping.
 * 11) Multiple image support is broken or very flaky.
 * 12) Multiple inline linking is super annoying, because you have to kill the preview for every link you don't want.

That's it for now. I'm sure I'll think of more.
