[Icehouse] Icehouse / Treehouse forum?

[miyu]

It's like my words coming out of your mouth.

I would greatly prefer a forum.  I participate in multiple forums already
and could easily check a LL one every couple days.  Trying to have a
discussion on a wiki is a nightmare and a list serv is only tolerable.
Message boards, in my opinion, work so much better.

The problem for the Looneys i imagine is maintaining the space and the
moderation that would have to be involved in a forum.  I help mod a
relatively small forum and some days it can be a good bit of work.
