On a forum, you have a group who share a specific interest and are there primarily to discuss that shared interest.

The difference between FB and a forum is the difference between meeting people on a street corner vs meeting them at a special interest group meeting.

Either can be a significant interaction, I think the latter has a better chance of being so.

Some people want to spend a lot of their time talking to people on street corners. I don't.

Personaly, I prefer the feeling of a well run forum to my (admittedly limited) Facebook experience. Knowing the Banhammer of the Mods is around to take care trolls, spammers and the generaly unruly counts for a lot with me.
