We have stalled moving the remainder of forums to Discussions because we recognize that Discussions doesn't yet fulfill all the needs it has to in order to be a complete replacement - most notably, Discussions still isn't suitable for conducting wiki business, e.g. for discussing templates or giving wikitext advice.

Our long-term plan is still to shut all threaded forums down - we're fully aware many users continue to love them, but they're simply not sustainable. However, the communities that still have their forums at this point use them actively and rely on them, and we will not migrate those forums to Discussions without prior explicit notice, and not while Discussions still isn't ready. (Note, though, that any wiki that doesn't have threaded forums right now can't get them anymore.)

Please stay tuned for further announcements on this topic. We'll have some news on progress for Discussions soon, but we don't expect the last forums to go away for some time. They're staying - for now, until we really have a proper replacement.
