1: It's been shown to be inevitable, while the service suggested to replace The Lawn was entirely up to the disgression of the wikia public. This makes Discussion seem much more of a sad gesture to revive something that never needed reviving. Which brings me to the much more heavy point...

2. It's the Forums, not the Chat. The Forums houses a large part of the community's opinions, games and discussions of internal affairs. You claimed yourself that the system has its flaws and I can certainly say that the Forums is not spotless.

It's just that the Beta of Discussions does NOTHING to win long-turn patrons of the Forums, no advanced search on release and still needing to be refreshed to see new posts which nullifies your complaint and reasoning to support Discussions. If it wanted to make a good first impression, then it should have added more features like crossout, underline or any template that worked for quite some time in the forums.

Discussions also runs independently works from the wiki, which makes it a hassle to keep up on posts and threads without having 2 pages up when 1 suffices with the current Forums. May change, but is currently a massive problem that makes this addition a idrect downgrade from Forums.

The Discussion just does not work well enough in its first legs to validate its implementation, and saying "it will be changed later" does not excuse the fact that its current state is literally "Forums Lite". And I will continue to lable this program as such until it actually does something progressive and make changes that make it just as accessable as Forums. Currently, it does not address the problems it faces nor corrects the problems of the Forums, thus obsolete.
