Reasons for converting to Discussions: Reasons for not converting to Discussions:
 * "better"
 * "updated" look
 * mobile browser and app friendly
 * Forum content can be "converted" anyways
 * better backend performance (I am guessing)
 * it is still missing a lot of functionality that Forums has
 * primarily wikitext and highlighting
 * probably won't be compatible with older browsers as more updates are made
 * for wikia-savvy users: individual post contents not easily accessible, if at all
 * cannot link to Discussions from other parts of the wiki using internal links (as far as I know)
 * not compatible with interwiki linking
