User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-1853435-20160908192754

I'll have to agree with most everyone else here, adding this feature is one thing, replacing our existing forums with them is totally unacceptable. Our forums are there to discuss issues regarding the wiki itself, not a social club for people to hang out and post mindless chit-chat.

I'll also agree with others and say that I'm also getting tired of having these new features forced upon us with no control over them. I'd be happy to add this feature to our wiki, but not at the cost of our current forums.
