Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-1370845-20140615222259

Yes, I hate most Wiki features, and I have a deep hatred for Message Walls and User blogs that goes a long way back. But Forums have been neglected completely. And I do not like that. The convenience of Message Walls and User blogs have made Forums useless and no one wants to really touch them. But I think Forums have their uses:


 * 1) They provide us with a recorded discussion on the wiki.
 * 2) They allow for general discussion, with User blogs meant to be more personal.
 * 3) Wiki-related matters should be discussed on forums, as they allow for a better voting system.
 * 4) IRC is nice, but it should not be the only place to discuss things. Because while useful, it is not a controlled environment and does not work for certain discussions, when the replies are quick, it is impossible to really discuss.

So I am betaing this feature to see if Forums can be revived. I hate how dead they are. If they are disliked, then they can be closed. If they are liked, and not used much, or liked and used a lot, may as well keep them, right?

Discuss.
