'[Not a signature] That strikes me as a passive aggressive wall of text if I ever saw it (comparing/calling people subhuman, not classy, not mention, pretty gross). Not to mention it more or less ignores and disregards everyone who has been "polite" about expressing their grievances about the Discussions becoming default over Forums, esp. in favor of digging at individuals who decide to just be angry and upset about removing a functional piece from their wikis and simply let it be known.

Discussions are not an advancement of the Forums. Esp. not in its current state or presentation, and not anymore than Comments on articles were an advancement of the talk page. If folk don't think it'll work for their wiki (again, esp. in its current format, which serves the mobile users more than wikis primary base of desktop users), then, like a lot people here have said repeatedly, there should be an opt out just like there's an opt out for the comment function on wiki articles. That is neither difficult nor impossible to achieve for Wikia's staff, not in my opinion.

"We all eventually got used to it" is not constructive, let alone helpful.
