Honestly I don't really care what other people think about forums. What I think is most important for me. I haven't asked anyone I know about what they think about forums, but I know some of my freinds interact with others in one way or the other via a forum on internet.
It's the way of the future.
I'm writing a paper for uni at the moment on overcoming barriers to innovation and a lot of the newer trends come back to the decentralized model which centers around web portals and forums. It seems to be the best way to innovate. IBM for example has a portal with close to 100,000 innovators in a forum based environemnt discussing ideas, innovations, tests, score cards and in the end they come up with products accepted by both the innovators and end users who are also part of the forum environment. As the world shifts further and further online forums culture will become part of our culture. I'm ready to debate this with anyone.

Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
