I am not sure if this post is going to get attached to the right thread, but here goes. In regards to Luca's comment about the difference between forums and Q&A sites...
Forum - a place for discussion. This could be a question, an idea that needs to be brainstormed, complaints, gathering feedback, or other forms of extended discussion. It is open, so there is nothing right or wrong. Q&A site - focus is only on solving a specific problem. A topic that is not a question is technically invalid and should be removed or closed. The best answer is often times voted on. If you think about why we go online, a percentage of the time is because we have a problem we would like to have answered. "What is this weird error message", or "how do I change the wiper blades on my car". All we want is the best answer the internet has. I am guessing the efficiency of solving the above use case is why Q&A sites are so popular these days. While technically forums have the capability of doing what a Q&A site, they don't have the focus that people are looking for. That is how I understand the different. I don't remember the specifics of the original request with how this came up. Q&A site may or may not be the solution depending on what our end goal is. those are my thoughts.
