I'm not really around anymore, but I like to browse the forums on occasion and all I see are SCP and MRP suggestions (mostly SCP). It really limits accessibility to other forms of discussion and the forums just feel like a platform to make suggestions now, nothing more.

At least they're getting accepted and denied now, on discord more than half of them would be ignored

Yes, it is easier to make suggestions on the discord, and more suggestions were made which is exactly why it was moved in the first place.
Content team & developers are not paid -- they are volunteers, if suggestions are moved back to discord, bluntly put, not all suggestions will be able to be responded to, nor is it fair to expect them to be.
In this case, it is much better to have quality over quantity and to encourage forum usage to make the forums a more active environment.

EDIT FOR ADDITIONAL CONTEXT:
With additional stats to back this up, the first MRP suggestion was written on Jun 24 2022 (52 Days ago), with 74 resolved and 13 open (as of writing this), for a total of 87 suggestions, this equates to ~1.7 suggestions per day.

The discord bot method of making suggestions was initially started on Oct 10 2020, and obviously ended on Jun 24 2022 (627 days, inclusive). There were 2585 suggestions made during this period which equates to ~4.1 suggestions per day.

its much easier for the content team to go through suggestions on the forums rather than on discord, also on the forums people give actually good responses instead of spamming a bunch of messages

Hi Owl, Your suggestion has been denied. The new suggestion system has proven to be less cluttered with suggestions made on a whim and has improved the flow of content through to the development tracker so we will not be changing back at this time​
