I think removing the Comment section is a win-win for everyone.

As stated already, there are multiple advantages to doing this, with few disadvantages outside of being a minor inconvenience for some users.

However, I feel that the Forum will largely benefit from this. I've been a Forum Moderator for some time now, and I can easily tell that we, that is Dark Jeto, the Admins and myself, can handle way more Forum activity than what we're currently dealing with. The Forum is one of the more inactive parts of the wiki, and making it a sort of hub for the community will easily solve this issue.

This will, in turn, give the Moderator position a more noticeable presence on the wiki, both in the sense that more activity means more Moderator specific activity, and the fact that we will be designated to, more or less, keep check on the community rather than just the Forum. A role that currently falls purely on the Admins.

On top of this, more forum activity also means that the Moderator position will be given a much needed development, as the role is, on this wiki, currently, more or less, just in use because it's there.

I could ramble on about how this chain reaction could continue (such as how it would let us better decide what traits and responsibilities are to be expected from a Moderator), but my post is long enough as it is, so I won't. So in conclusion, removing the comment section is likely to, outside of increasing proper editing activity on the mainspace, have a huge positive impact on the Forum and the Moderator role.
