Board Thread:Consensus Track/@comment-1251315-20160904135950

Not a discussion post, but just an announcement, but it's not in my rights to post in the "Announcements" board. If a sysop wants to move this to announcements, they can do so.

Basically, the forums that we're all used to here are soon (as in, several months away) going to be getting merged with something called "Discussions", which is just a mobile app version of forums. You can see some examples of this at TES Wiki and the Nukapedia.

The feature has been in some beta testing for a while now and Staff are pressing on to replace Special:Forum with the /d feature.

As this wiki makes heavy use of the forums, I thought I'd let you all know about this so you can start preparing for the eventual merge. As I understand it, nothing will be lost, but Wikia will post up more information in time over on Community Central, so keep an eye there for when more information comes out about the move from forums to discussions.
