The choice is about maintaining the infrastructure to run a forum or not. If we choose to maintain it, I am in favor of a self hosted web2py solution. It takes resources, but it is not a waste of resources, since it is a real world testbed for web2py and would generate contributions for stability and speed, so it would have a positive impact on web2py engineering. The critical point could be development of new components (specifically web3py), since much resources would work on the stable version having to deliver a good service... Following the same reasoning, I am against having to use resources to maintain something that requires tinkering with another framework. In that case we must rely on a 3rd party service as we do now with google, where we do not have to maintain their (falling apart? I don't know since I tend to use the e-mail channel) framework for discussion groups.
