When I've brought it up in the past, the general feeling I got was that
the lack of import (and the need to register twice, on sourceforge for
trackers and a seperate forum) made it an unattractive option. I've
always been for it, for all the features you list :)

That said, if going with a seperate forum is decided upon, I could
always host a PHPBB2 on the wiki box as http://forum.scummvm.org/ or
something. Its had pretty decent uptime as far as I'm concerned, apart
from one or two cases of a non-rotated logfile filling up the disk, and
it already runs a few phpbb2 forums that I admin with no trouble.

Theres a half-install sitting on www.scummvm.org that I never finished
configuring, but I've heard that SFs project mysql is a bit overloaded
and hosting it on SourceForge may not work ideally.

And I can always add a DNS entry for anywhere else it may be hosted.
Just to prove I'm not COMPLETELY a power-hungry mad psycho. Honest. :)
