I must disagree with you there James. You say that it is because of the forums, that people are angry and that it gives people a place/way to complain. But, you are laying blame on something that deserves not blame.
You may not read fantasy books, or even like fantasy, but have you ever heard of how people talk about about white/black magic? If you have, hopefully you have heard this as well:

Magic is neither good, nor evil. It is how the caster (user) of magic determines what kind it is

Or something close to that.
This is much like the forums. The forums are just images, and code put together to create software. It deserves no blame. It does it's job; allowing people to post in real time, and talk to one another. If blame lies anywhere on the problems you see, it is on the forums members themselves. Members make the message board, not the message board itself. It's a combined effort to manage a message board. It requires intelligence, and good managment, among other things. But without any members, all you are managing is just some bits of html and code. but, with said members, your message board increases in size. Therefore, lay balme on the members of this forum if you find there is something distastful about them. Do not blame it on the forums itself.
