I'm prejudiced against forums, so I don't believe it's possible to have any
constructive discussion on them. They are just too attractive for kids and
idiots. And *buntu, as flavour-of-the-month (still), will have most of the
fanboys and zealots.
Mailing lists have a somewhat better signal-to-noise ratio, especially if they
belong to slightly older and less fashionable distros.
So, let's see some informed discussion (In a separate thread, it goes without
saying ;)).
