Forum channels are a bandaid solution for those people who refuse to use proper forums. It’s alright at what it does but it’s hardly the same. Far closer to ”Issues” on GitHub. In fact that’s mainly what I see it used for, issues and documentation that would benefit from its own indexable websites.

Not trying to be sarcastic, just haven't had a chance to use this feature and wasn't sure if you were taking that into account.
