Even if we don't enable the "Discussions" feature right now, it will be enabled later and the forums migrated. If we don't enable Discussions, then I have no idea what will happen to the forums, they'd probably just become non-postable and we'd be stuck in a position where people would want to discuss things but not have the venue to do so (beyond just going to another website entirely).

As to WindStar7125's post, I say we should wait until it's fleshed out a heck of a lot more. It needs way more work and features to make it a serious debate. At this time, Discussions is a huge downgrade and provides far limited features than our current Forums.
