I never suggested Forum would be easy to move and it's a moot point since they are going to kill it before that happens. What I do know is that MediaWiki is very good about backwards compatibility, so Forum would most likely work as it has, but no better. Since Discussions is largely disconnected from MW, the little that does integrate like the contribution count will probably have to be re-added to the MW part that generates the profile page.

Since we know almost nothing about the UCP, I'm more worried about Message Wall and Comments replacements, since there has been no news about that.

In some ways it would be better for FANDOM to just kill Forum right away, so people could get used to it, because Discussions won't probably come close to a replacement for those who needed Forum for at least 2 years.
