Although this isn't really directly related to your point, one of the issues with forums is that, while most of the Inkscape developers do read the inkscape-user mailing list, most of us aren't able to keep up with forums.
That's the main reason I'd prefer the "official" Inkscape forum to be an interface to the mailing list over other approaches, even though I certainly do appreciate the benefits of "real" forums (e.g. being able to post inline images as examples, more robust threading, etc.).
