User blog comment:JustLeafy/HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BETWEEN FORUMS AND DISCUSSIONS!/@comment-5811199-20170222104635

What you're proposing is a bit confusing.

I do agree that Discussions is not well implemented on desktop, and it would be very helpful designed more like our current Forums. Discussions can do a load more improvement, like making it suitably sized for normal laptops and small screen desktops, since these users have to scroll a lot more and find it tough to read discussions with the large padding.

But, keeping two systems of socialising and discussion - one for mobile and one for desktop, is double the work for admins and is especially finicky if they have to switch to mobile to access one.
