I think the community forums will have to rapidly evolve to deal with the influx of new users. If you look at successful, very large internet communities, almost none of them look like traditional forums. I think wiki-like features could be important here, so that users can maintain high-quality references to point to during discourse. For example, reddit has subreddit wikis, and stack overflow allows questions to be repeatedly edited by the community.
