Dr.Jeckyl: Why would they care if Rickard said that though? If there are enough topics on a specific piece of forum software, it's in their interest to create a forum for those topics. Other than just for the sake of being nice (which the TAZ people are), there's no incentive for them to not create a forum if they feel they should have one.

Or, on the other hand, why would existing members bother to list it if they know it's irrelevant, to a degree, on that particualr board.
Except it IS a choice in your profile and it IS a choice as a usergroup. Just not as a forum specifically for discussing PunBB topics
Also, I think very few people go to TAZ just for forum software specific support. Thus, I don't know that having a PunBB forum would attract that many more users: it is, as they say, a case of demand. If there are enough users/topics that PunBB warrants its own forum, it would get one.

That's part of the point. They were more lenient in the past and ended up with some inactive forums. So, they're more selective now.
