As others have said, a wiki would be a great medium for accessing those common topics that seem to keep coming up over and over again. Ones that don't require interactive discussion in pseudo real-time, but rather a methodical/thorough description of the topic.

The forums are definitely still needed for posting questions (perhaps on wiki topics) that the community can respond to (and update the wiki if necessary), or just to log the progress of a project they are working on that may others may find useful.
