If you follow this space and the staff blog, you won't miss the announcement for that, when the time comes. We've migrated forum content to Discussions in the past, when a wiki switched over, so nothing was lost, and should be able to do the same again when we shut down the forums on the last remaining communities that still have them. Just adding to this, there are already a whole lot of threads/blogs regarding the conversion process/schedule so take a look at those if you want more information. Just one thing to add is that, since Discussions doesn't have MediaWiki support, the conversion is done by taking the rendered HTML. This means that, once converted, the messages cannot be edited. At least, not in the same way as before.
