I don't think so, it's probably best to keep most of the community focused on the posts. With forums the attention would be divided.

An occasional open thread is a good way to fit in the lower-threshold stuff, and that's common to many blogs.

Forums are also more prone to accreting semi-off-topic crud. Do we really want to deal with "ITT: post your rationalism-themed cat macros"?
