i've never seen the need. generally i would say forum posts should
become wiki pages but when someone obsessively creates links and
indicies so that the forum post is essentially a wiki page itself
(*ahem*) there's no need.

in that sense lost is another avenue. it seems like a lot of people use
the forums so i see it as practically better than the wiki to those folks.

point being is that there should be nothing in the forum that's not in
the wiki and vice versa.

so i vote leave it alone :D
