Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-2240864-20180318185120

Greetings, everyone! Today, I'd like to talk to everyone about Discussions, and the possibility of turning them on here so we can learn how best to use them and become accustomed to them once they are rolled out on a wider scale.

For starters, here is a CC post detailing just what exactly Discussions are, and an example of what they look like, check out this Fandom article.

Now, let me start off by saying that no, Discussions will not replace our existing Forums, currently. When the rollout comes, though, Forums will be merged with Discussions in a way that will keep our board topics intact.

Now, you may be asking yourself, self, why is Cleric telling me all of this? That's very simple: we currently have the option to turn on Discussions and allow ourselves to become accustomed to them before they are inevitability implemented, or we can choose to stick to our existing Forums format for as long as we can. I would like to ask you, the community, your feelings on this matter.

The only major issue going forward with turning on Discussions that I could possibly foresee would be splitting the userbase between Discussions and Forums. To that end, I would suggest users try out the Discussions feature and use whichever of the two is more comfortable to them.

With all that out of the way, please vote on this matter as this is something that will change how things work around here and would be a learning opportunity for everyone involved, myself included. This is a matter that affects the community, and as such, I believe this choice should be left in the hands of everyone as a general consensus.

Thank you for your time, and let me know if you have additional questions.
