User blog comment:Toughpigs/Wikia's new Forum demo/@comment-1411998-20120726092725

I'm not entirely fond of this change, but it don't has only bad sides, either. Here's my thoughts: I not the biggest fan of the Message Wall, so I'm sceptical of this change. Also, what will happen about the old forums? Something like with old talk pages I suppose? Please remember that forums are very crucial part of wiki communities, so changes must be done carefully. Thank you for reading my rather long post.
 * archiving: some threads must be archived from time to time, like Featured Article threads - and a post like that cannot be archived automatically like the Message Wall - think about policy post about picking FA get archived instead of voting part;
 * locking the threads - there should be an option like this;
 * sticky threads - may be useful too;
 * last but not least - preview option, which is also needed in Message Wall.
