This new forum was implemented before it was available in labs by request of User:Ajraddatz with the idea that it would be a prelude to helping our comment issues by providing an alternative method of communication for users. With the forums we had Message Walls forced on us despite our previous decision not to enable it.

There is no "for the hell of it" in our decision making. Sorry, if my previous comment was somewhat insulting towards your work as admins I apologize. It's just that from my point of view there's a lot of new stuff / features on both this Wiki and others that I frequent, seemingly enabled just because we can try it out. That's what I experienced a while ago with a former Wiki I used to participate in, and I left because of that (alongside other, personal issues).

Call me a whiner, but I'm just stressing that similar situations have occured beforehand and have turned into complete anarchy because some people were correct in asking for old, usuable tools back, but administration simply wanted to use the new tools and adapt immediately to them.

Again, apologies if I am too prudent in my opinion.
