A blog was released from a Fandom Staff Member. As far as I can tell, the eventual retirement of Forums and the rise of Discussions will happen sometime in April.

Here's the first post that details what changes are occurring and why they're occurring: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:MisterWoodhouse/The_first_specifics_on_the_Unified_Community_Platform

Here's the post released yesterday detailing why it had been delayed from mid-January to April: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:MisterWoodhouse/An_update_on_the_Forum_retirement_plan

I have no idea how our Forum-heavy community will translate to a Discussions based one. Personally, the few times I've tried the feature, it was harder to make in depth discussions or find actual discussions you wanted to partake in.

So I guess it's a good thing that Forum activity has died down quite a bit.

Also I'm not sure I'm understanding the blog correctly, but it looks like Profile Talkpages are outdated too, so those may be removed at some point.
