I'm stating that Wikia is removing forums in favour of discussions and I'm suggesting we add categories to the discussion board to make it just a tad more user friendly. Making the discussions "user-friendly," especially to the point that they could replace the Forums, will involve greater, structural changes to the platform, like adding the ability to follow, sticky, and highlight discussions and supporting wikitext. From the FAQ, it appears there are no current plans for any of this to be implemented, and the last one might not even be possible. Adding categories to the discussions is very low on the priority list, and might not even be worth it if those other changes aren't made.
