User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-18172179-20160909010707

Gotta love those who defend the elimination of Special:Forum and then realize their wikis never had that feature.

Wikia - I just want to know why you have to make these decisions? Discussions are here to stay. I'm fine with that, but why remove the Forums?? WHY? Can't we have both? - Of course not. You have to push this new feature on everyone. Because there's something you gain with this that is not obvious for us. I wonder...

Forums: Place for active editors and admins to discuss policies and changes in the wiki.

Discussion: Place for general chit chat and irrelevant fandom posts about a wiki's main theme.

If you fail to see the difference, then I ask you this: Who are the people responsible for some of the greatest wikis on your network? Editors or Conversationalists? i've been on both ends. I know what I'm talking about.

Almost the entire comment section here is not against the Discussion itself. It is the removal of Forums that has everyone pissed off.

Please. Let Forum remain. It is important to us.... but obviously it's not for you, is it?
