Hello everyone! I'm Mike with FANDOM's Community Development Team. To answer your question regarding Discussions and Forums; at the moment, you can definitely have both running side by side. By activating Discussions, the link to the forum in the navigation bar will be replaced with a link to Discussions but the Forums will remain in place.

As Aks6609 mentions, Forums will eventually be replaced by Discussions in the future. At that point, all existing Forum threads will be migrated across to Discussions so you will not lose the content there.

The other benefit to Discussions is that a module can be placed on the main page to generate interest in the feature and get fans using it.
