Well, on one hand I admit the LW forum is redundant with the discussion section. On the other hand, I vastly prefer Forum structure to the nested threading that he Discussion section has. (I get why the threading is supposed to be useful, but I prefer to have new posts always at the very top of the page)

So I like the forum... insofar as I'd like to replace discussion completely, but I don't expect anyone else to be on board with that.
