Fandom isn't replacing them. If they were, they wouldn't have that section in the new headers blog about what would happen to them. In the new header, there will be a "discuss" button that will go to discussions on wikis where that's enabled (e.g., the German wiki) and to forums on wikis like ours. Wikia is only replacing forums on wikis where forums are inactive.
