Forum is not a perfectly fine feature, because of it's various bugs and restrictions of the underlying engine, MediaWiki. Discussions are based on a completely different engine from MediaWiki which allows them to integrate a lot of new features the Forum didn't have. The Wikia itself is made on MediaWiki. It is obvious​ Wikia's Forums are to have the same restrictions - AND the same advantages. Everything has bugs, but Discussions are just... just... useless as they are now, void of useful "features the Forum didn't have", whereas Forums are (were?) obviously useful precisely because of using the same MediaWiki as the main space of the relevant wiki.

And the pitiful stubbornness of Wikia to delete Forums and introduce nothing but Discussions is both pathetic and saddening.
