But...what can I compare this to so I can see if I like the new thing more or less than the current system?

Being able to search for posts is one of the things that will make Discussions an improvement over the old forums once it's finished. You may not need this so much, but for other wikis and users this might be very relevant and a big deal. It can be very helpful and reduce annoying repetitions when you can check if a question has been asked before, so you don't have to start yet another conversation about it.

Another big difference between Discussions and the forums is that Discussions works on mobile just as well as it does on desktop. The forums don't, and so keep a lot of users who visit Fandom on their phones from contributing anything. Most of you are probably desktop users, and so you might think this doesn't concern you. It'll make a big difference for you too, though, if the community becomes accessible to many new users - more people to contribute here.

If you want to take a look at what Discussions looks like today, feel free to check out any of the communities I linked in my original post. That should help you get an idea of what to expect.
