Yeah, I think I agree with Josh.  I think part of the issue is the volume of traffic in this list can be daunting.  New folks become lurkers because they cant possible catch/keep up :-P

A forum where the more timid could find a specific area, and the more brave could just RSS subscribe to the whole thing, would be great.  If we could have a forum with an overall RSS subscribe, the community experience wouldn't really change for the core members (they'd still see everything in one list) ... but those trying to get started might feel more willing to post to a related topic than to 2000 people who seem to know everything anyway.

I always though a forum system with the following topics would be good:
  • FAQs, Tips, and Tutorials (moderated to remove noise)
  • Events and Meetups
  • Videoblogging in the news
  • Cameras and Hardware
  • Editing and Compression
  • Blogs and Hosting
  • RSS and Publication
  • Aggregators and Readers
  • Other Support / Technical Help
  • Content and Creativity (Share and discuss your ideas!)
  • Copyright and Legal Discussions (Your rights and the rights you violate.)
  • Social and Political Action (Issues that impact vloggers, or issues vloggers can impact.)
  • The Business of vlogging (Advertising and Monetising via Vlogging.)
  • General / Off Topic chit chat.
  • Forums Feedback: Issues with the forums (not vlogging)

And again, I think it would have to have an option to subscribe to the entire forum (or subsets) via RSS.
