I agree with you guys. But, first it was loathing a Perl site that
uses PHP. Then it was a web-development library site using a forum or
wiki not developed with that. Now it's a forum site using a different
forum.

I think that's my point too. It's a matter of degrees, not absolutes.
Different levels of apparent contradiction. Balancing goals which may
be contradictory (David's goal to encourage greater participation and
reduce spam, while making editing easy may be diminished by a goal to
treat everything as an opportunity to showcase C::A, however
lightweight and featureless the result may be.).

I was just saying that if David's goals are important, then a robust
forum and wiki would be the way to go.

Even in the most contradictory case of a forum (or wiki) site using a
different forum (or wiki), I think that could be justified if the
forum (or wiki) hasn't reached the desired state of development. Using
something better to facilitate that development seems like a mature
position. Not necessarily discrediting. (IMO.).
