I don't think this is a productive conversation at this point. You have your perspective, and Jim has his based on decades of experience and tens of thousands of forum users.
In the end, what matters in an Open Source project is what volunteers (or companies) offer in terms of contributions. We clearly have a nice number of volunteers who support the forums, and asking for support of the forums on this list is perfectly valid, too.
Beyond that, just agree to disagree on this one?

+1 to Gerald's statement. Over the years, I've come to know and expect Jim's postings on various threads to be one of the sanest and most centered in terms of bringing facts together in a cohesive way that helps us to better understand the situation at hand. Thanks for all your help and contributions over the years, Jim!
