     OK, I left it. But should we have a more powerful site for our
     community? The classic Guile main site seems too lean for the fans.
     
What's wrong with this mailing list? and of course the #guile channel on=20
freenode   ?   Are they not good enough?

If somebody wants to to create some additional forum, I would not be against
it.   But like others have suggested, Google does not seem to believe in the
same ideals as Guile so it would not seem to be the best place to create it.
Maybe a group on libreplanet.org would be a possibility?
