In my opinions, forums tend to encourage a much more focused style of

would prefer python-ideas to have more focus). But it *also* tends to
deter people from contributing - I can't quite express why, but
there's somehow less of a sense of being an open debate with a forum.
Maybe that's just me - it's certainly a subjective thing - but in a
forum I'd expect the quality of discussion to increase, but the
quantity (and breadth) to decrease.

The "why" comes from the linear nature of forums threads. I like it more, too. :)
