The major reason that the out of game forum sucks is simple:
We can't see from within TW that there has been an update on a thread. It is useful to communicate with other TF tribes, but it is very inconveniant (benri) for checking if there have been updates from within the game. It is more difficult to navigate than the normal ingame forum.
I think we should stick to the ingame forum for most in tribe issues, and use this one for extra-tribal issues that concern the entire TF family. But I'm new and my opinion doesn't matter. So I welcome the opinions to counter this issue.
