I agree, and I would be totally opposed to a forum that is hosted by one of
the "free" forum hosting services. They generally suck, and when they decide
to close their doors, you lose all the archives.

A forum can easily be set up and run on the Xitami web site, at no
additional cost. Then, iMatix can determine exactly how they want to set it
up. I run a forum on my web site (I test the scripts with Xitami!) -- I do
not require registration, posts can be anonymous (no email req'd), there are
no advertisers/sponsors/pop-ups, and all posts are emailed to subscribers.
Even non-subscribers who post a question, can select to have replies to that
question emailed to them, without having to subscribe to the forum.
