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.
