I'm not impressed by the attempt to hijack the word “forum”. A mailing
list, a Usenet group, an IRC channel — all these are discussion forums,
now just as much as before crappy web messaging applications.

There's nothing wrong with using “discussion forum” or “support forum”
to mean whatever medium and location is used for discussion/support.
