Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-25034020-20160921064538

Sad, sad, sad news hit me two days ago, when a user told me that the forums will be replaced by something called "Discussions". I didn't say anything about this now as I was too busy trying to get over the news by writing a story. Trust me, it works. A friend of mine gave me a link to this news and I'm so sad as it seems to be really happening:

Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community

I really don't want the forums to be replaced, especially when there isn't going to be an option apparently to keep them. The forums came in handy because you can alert everyone to things that are going to happen on the wiki or announcements for upcoming news very easily. Now, I'll happily give this Discussions thing a go but if it doesn't share similar features with the forum, I'm just gonna curl up in a ball and rock back and forth, hoping this is all a dream. I usually tend to like what the wikia gods do to update wikia and make it better but I'm against this. I see nothing wrong with the forum, it's a really good system to have in my opinion. It works on very single device I own.

It appears that you can get the Discussions thing now but I'm just gonna wait until I wake up one day to see the Forums gone. The good thing about this new platform is everything that was on the forum migrates to the Discussions so we aren't losing what was put here on the forums. The bad thing is that it looks so chunky and like it won't work.
