Currently the WineHQ server really does not have much space left over. Alexandre and I have had a few issues with the box running out of hard drive space.
We need to know if this is really needed. Is providing a forum really better than: a good FAQ in the Wiki, the forums in the AppDB, Bugzilla, the mailing lists, and finally IRC? We already provide quite a few levels of help.
The other issue I have is that just adding a forum, is yet another login/password for users to have. What I don't like about the WineHQ website is that the AppDB and Bugzilla do not share a common login system. Adding a bboard just adds more to this problem.
Now, I do not see a reason why the AppDB guys could not use the already written forum in the AppDB to create a not tied to an app forum. Follow me?

Running phpBB or some similar type web forum software, with official links and so on from WineHQ. Newman, what do you think, do we have server capacity to do this? Do you have time to set it up?
