My problems with the TVT forums are slightly different from Geth's -- it intensely bothered me that they had become more TVT than the wiki itself. A good example: there were people who thought I was an inactive user because I didn't visit the forums and instead spent all my time in the wiki. There's something profoundly wrong about that. The forum should not supplant the wiki as the community, it should do no more than support it.
I reluctantly agree that a forum is a better place to handle consensus-building and user-admin interaction than in the discussion pages. I just don't want to see it become the tail wagging the dog. I don't want to see what I saw on TVT, which is people who spent no time in the wiki thinking they were somehow more important because of their forum presence.
