This is offtopic here. I completely disagree, incidentally. I need to
read about 30 or 40 different community lists. It's *much* quicker for
me to have a standard UI and a standard way of operating and a standard
look and feel.
Each project having a separate forum, with separate logins, with
separate style and separate features etc. makes for a very hard and time
consuming reading experience. There is a similar argument for why HTML
messages are bad too (consistent style makes everyone's life easier). So
forums are only really good if you only follow a couple of projects or
only follow projects fairly superficially. Mailing lists are better for
the rest of us who are have to follow more projects.
