It actually wasn't possible to un-archive DPL forums while Special:Forum is active. If it was never archived, then they could run simultaneously, but if you had one archived, the other enabled, and didn't want to disable Special:Forum, there was a barrier in the backend to just bringing back the DPL Forums. We've not had anyone ask for this in so long that our team was actually unaware about this issue, until recently. Luckily, it's now fixed.
