We published a blog post a while ago explaining why Fandom has to make changes, sometimes big ones like replacing the forums, to keep step with how the web is evolving. We can't keep everything exactly as it is, or else we'll become outdated, lose users and ad revenue, and go out of business: w:User_blog:Ducksoup/Why_Wikia_Evolves

We will enable Discussions here, that's not optional. But until the forums are retired, you're not forced to use it - and by that time Discussions will have a lot more features so it's not as big a change for you!
