I've been apart of the community for over 2 years now, I don't want to see it die off or collapse because of Fandom management.
 * Forums have been there for a long while and wikians of their own communities have built their infrastructures around the use of Forums for their communities to flourish. This forced replacement will effectively destroy everyone's work and essentially creates the situation where you tell everyone to "suck it up". This wouldn't be a problem if it were not the fact that the smaller wikia communities aren't even given the choice of retaining the forums to begin with. Not leaving any backward compatibility behind for people to slowly migrate over to a new environment with their work intact pisses me off to no end as an IT specialist.
 * Discussions do not support "WikiText" among others. While others are trying to sugarcoat this by saying that they are working hard to implement updates, do you realize how people would feel if they are forced into a house where both the roof and the furnitures are missing? This is wishful thinking and it is basically another way to tell people to "suck it up" and hope life improves in the future.
