I used to think so, but I was totally put-off on forums when the
NVidia-frequented cgshaders.org (aka shadertech.com) site decided to kill
its forums.  I'd devoted considerable time providing Cg/GLSL support
responses to users on this site, as had a number of NVidia employees &
other users ...and (poof) now it's gone.

The only way I'd vote for a forum is if "anyone" can easily download a copy
of the entire forum posting archive to a single file, similar to a mailing
list archive.  Both so that the knowledge doesn't die when the forum site
is killed, and to support more elegent searching.  This is the forum
equivalent of open-source.
