Discussions have many problems though which we might have to consider All of it gets moved, I don't believe we have any choice to be selective of things. And given how many posts those two boards have, it would be pretty hard to get people to move to an inferior platform for those types of discussions. As far as I know, if we chose the option of "migrating" the content, we would lose the forums we have: just enabling "Discussions" means starting from a blank slate again and I doubt anyone's going to want to do that.

For reference, across all of the "postable" forums, we have 81,968 posts. If we count just those posts in the two boards mentioned, there are 43,736 posts. These two boards combined equate to 53% of the total posts made on the forum, so that's a lot of posts just being "sent away" to an essentially inferior platform.

Because Discussions are so separate from the rest of the wiki, it means asking people to "leave the wiki" to have those discussions, which takes us right back to the time before these forums exist. It seems a shame to throw away so many posts and send users to a worse discussion system imo.
