History
Since November 26, 2006, the web site had been developing its Crackipedia project to replace static web content that made up The Vault, and was experimenting with using the fledgling addon vBWiki as a bridge between the vBulletin and MediaWiki softwares. On December 14, 2006, the web site upgraded vBWiki to vBWiki Pro. As part of this upgrade, a new sub-forum called Article Discussions was created under the sub-forum "The Vault" in the category The Next-Gen Entertainment Alternative.
By default, MediaWiki used actual wiki pages in a Talk namespace to handle discussion between wiki editors of articles. Each wiki page had a corresponding Talk page, and editors were expected to edit the Talk page one after another to add their comments to the page. vBWiki Pro instead moved discussion to the forums, with each wiki page having its own thread that editors could reply to. For Crackipedia, the sub-forum "Article Discussions" performed this function.
However, in late April 2007, Crackipedia began migrating to use the software NuWiki instead, which was a fully forum-based wiki. Over time, the discussions from "Article Discussions" were migrated to the corresponding wiki pages built using NuWiki.
Some time between February 13 and March 9, 2008, the last of the discussions were migrated, and the sub-forum "Article Discussions" was removed.
