I tend to agree there, when I originally created pyforum, the main point of it was to (1) have an message board for the community, never to replace (or even become) the official web2py discussion area, (2) to show the world that we are very capable of "eating our own dog food" (without choking).
For example, I'd like to add a "Job Board" in pyforum where potential projects could be added looking for web2py programmers, or a section of "Job Snippets" where devs can analyze snippets of code and encourage peer reviews, etc, etc, all this should be handled IMO in its own realm, pyforum aims to be that realm.
