Right when I saw this title, the following popped into my head:
- there are rules (everyone else got that)
- not everyone's on at the same time
- it's much more organized
- people are more likely (but not gaurunteed) to atleast try to use grammar and spelling
- the conversations have some sort of topic
- there's alot less instantaneous replying (which I think is good, on a chat room, 4 or 5 people say things at once and by the time you type something, you're reffering to what someone said 50 posts ago)
So: forums != fancy chatroom

Too legit to quit.
