My other complaint is the concern of the dip in forum activity, but I still think it's a bit early to believe this new discussion feature has killed our forum community.

I also can't see why the previous disccusion board can't be as optional since it appears to be the same basics, just like how we have Oasis and MonoBook skin to view same articles and such. I share your concern, but I don't think it will last so much before we can get something to stylize our comments, though the url preview produced image is a good feature:) However, much of these things are not of that interest to users here, as far as I could deduce from my previous observations of how users interact with each other. Also, maybe this will change when the Community App gets the discussion feature enabled and we may get more users by then.

For the activity thing, I'm trying to find ways to promote the feature throughout the wiki. Like this. But you would only get to see this message if you use the Wikia skin, though.
