You might not know it, but the Forum is actually deprecated.

Fandom plans to completely replace it with the new discussions in the new future. Therefore they have disabled the Forum in Communities where it was seldom used and in newly created wikis, replacing it with the discussions.

The advantage of the discussions is, that they're working great on mobile devices, and in Wikia Apps.

The big disadvantage is, that they don't have as many features as the forum since Fandom is still developing them.

Despite a big group of user (including myself) has complained about Fandom taking this step way to early, since the discussions are still very separated from the main wiki and don't have a highlight feature. But they didn't listen. I don't think it is possible to enable it again...
