The other reasons for migrating to Discussions over Forum is that Forum is actually built on MediaWiki, which was a huge problem when it came to actually coding it. The way it was developed by the old team meant huge problems with migrating it, especially with regard to later MW versions, to the point where it'd basically be rewritten from scratch. Discussions, on the other hand, was not based on MediaWiki at all, meaning it avoids these issues. There's also the fact that lots of communities (including some I manage) rejected Forum entirely, and were opposed to including social features on the wiki, whereas Discussions is separate from it.

Going forward, I would hope that Discussions after being the new platform would see significant improvements for communities such as this in order to still be viable.
