Most are dreadful, like the Mozilla fora structure. You often can easily find a dozen people asking the same question and no answers.
Not only that, on the Mozilla forum, if you do get a reply, almost half the time it won't be relevant to your question, or will tell you how to do something you said in your original question that you'd tried already. At that, it's better than the Gnome forum I found; for all practical purposes, I found it to be a "write only" group because nobody ever bothered answering anybody's questions.
However, both the Fedora and XFCE forum are quite good. You generally get at least one answer in under a day, if anybody happens to be able to help. And, the Ubuntu forum, which I check out once in a while to help my sister is so active that it's rare to see an unanswered thread on the first page that's over about two hours old or so. And, if you really need help with XFCE, one of the forum regulars describes himself as a "Core Developer," giving us almost direct access to the XFCE devs.
This is why, on occasion, I'll point somebody to the Fedora Forum, but I'd never point one to the Gnome forum I know of because that would be wasting the poster's valuable time.
