Bumping this thread once more, and adding to Metal, the Discussions also has the flaws of not supporting syntax/wikitext (you can't make text bold, italic, underlined, give it another colour, make templates, etc...) and being flat-out uncustomizable.

Aside from changing the colour between white and black which requires the general page colour of the wiki to be changed, the Discussions are flat-out uncustomizable. They're locked from any and all CSS and JavaScript modifications, even in personal use. No matter what codes you type, they'll never load, even in one's personal code pages.

Plus, you're pretty much forced to use them wether you like them or not and wave a permanent, irreversible goodbye to the Forums, against your will.

And like Metal said; they look very bizarre and clunky, the interface and loading images are pretty bad and they can't be highlighted. The only way to be aware of new discussions is to either add a Discussions Rail Module or summon a general site notifcation; both of which are not possible on wikis without JavaScript, not to mention: why would we use those methods when the Discussions are so flawed anyways?

Conclusion: We're completely fine using our Forums. Unless all mentioned problems with them are solved, we refuse to and will not use the Discussions in any way.
