There's a few things I'll note as well:
 * The main reason Wikia/Fandom is creating discussions: the ability to find a thread with the search tool. They advertised the hell out of this, but have yet to add or move toward such a notion. The feature (which apparently the forum lacked and is vital according to them) is their primary justification for the merge. Until it is added, they have no ground to stand on. So, while I don't see it being all that helpful, I'd still like to see it happen, so at least we can get something from discussions that forums lack.
 * I believe that this is in developement, but the ability to explain why a post was deleted/locked. I heard this mentioned a while ago, but it has yet to be added to my knowledge. It helps prevent new users from demanding to know why their post was deleted and such.
 * Topics. This is the thing that tags forums to the wiki, as well as allow discussions to last more than a few days. At minimum, it should be like the forums, which would greatly enhance the discussions app.
 * I know this has been mentioned already, but the situation is getting more and more troubling. The discussions greatly needs wikitext or something similar. Without it, the feature is incomplete. This must be added, or else the quality of threads will drop substantially after the merge. Simple formatting tools like bold, italics, and underline are not optional.
