Please, praise away... I want to hear what I'm missing. One issue with Forums is how they tend to lag after getting a certain amount of replies and have a 500 comment limit. Discussions have no comment limit and do not lag after several hundred replies are posted. Discussions, in my opinion, are also more organized than Forums and do not get cluttered as much. Another bonus is how Discussion posts are counted separately from wiki edits, so users do not get hundreds or thousands of edits from replying to Discussions. Replies and posts also do not fill up Special:WikiActivity, which is also a bonus in my opinion, as you can then see actual edits being made using that feature.
