Can you test it and report ?
What are the differences ?

I never used a Forum since every Document, Object has an Discussion
tool
which makes it as Forum, the only difference is that forums can be
found under one URL. So maybe only a Search for new Objects visible or
published could form a forum. 

Since nowadays Forums and weblogs have Subscription support and email
entry, they become more and more an mailinglists. So why don't just
make a mailboxer with additional a online form to mail, so poeple can
make up mailinglists for their projects, have the archives online like
a forum and all mailinglists are searchable over the site.

So I think we can make a content crop machine out of the page, since
many info on a lively community is just in mails.
