Feature request: Allow moving threads from text channel to a forum channel

imax

We've got a bunch of threads dedicated to various sub-topics, and a forum channel looks like it would be a much better place for this, as people won't have to click a tiny icon in the top right to see what threads are there.

However since there's no option to move existing threads into forum, making the transition is hard, cause now everyone will have to look in two places instead of one.

If there was an option to freely move threads between channels, or even just a one-time thread to forum post conversion - that would help a lot.

    They should allow not only this but also moving Threads between Text Channels and between Forum Channels as well. Speaking from 15 years experience running multiple message boards of my own, Discord's missing some of the most basic features required to properly run Forums and this could go a long way towards fixing that.

    It would be nice to be able to clone text channels into forum threads. Saves a lot of time than making the transition manually

    Yes! Please! This would be such a great feature!
    I've created some regular threads while WAITING for Forum Channels to be rolled out, and now I really wish the messages I sent to these threads were in a forum channel.

    Same, we have lots of idea threads we created that should really be persistent, especially the voting thread - it would be fantastic to be able to migrate all these threads to our new ideas forum - especially as links to threads no longer work properly after they're archived (it says #deleted-channel)!
