Same thing.

I created a forum for visitors, and in 2 months we had no registration.

But we have a main forum, that all our robotics students can use, and also all team members can discuss about meetings, plans... chat...

I agree that there are better ways to communicate with the team, but sometimes a forum can be very useful like: creating pools to set up the day of meetings, sending Private Messages, chating...

I my opinion, before installing a forum, you should analize if it´s REALLY needed, 'cos nothing is better than a team meeting and a nice chat. Human contact can do better than just online stuff.
