I'm not nearly as concerned about whether there are forums as about having "rogue" forums outside the postgresql.org domain. People could misperceive such things as having some official status, which would lead to conclusions like "postgres must be dead because there's no traffic in this forum". It needs to be connected to the community as a whole, and some random guy deciding to create his own forum doesn't sound like a recipe for getting to that.
Tom, A reasonable concern. I was certainly not advocating or supporting the idea of a Web-based forum. As an old curmudgeon I much prefer mail lists.
