The thread that Lothar's talking about appeared in the Conversation a couple of months back, so it's been wiped.
In brief, the main points made against a gaming forum (IIRC) were that another addition to the Spectacle could throw the site completely off-balance and that anything that people feel the need to discuss regarding any aspect of gaming can easily be slotted into one of the existing forums (Head Shop, Laboratory, Conversation, Creation).
Since the Spectacle got split into seperate sections, the number of threads contained therein has rocketed. A lot - not all, not most, but still, a lot - of these haven't added anything to the site, explored any new avenues or fulfilled any useful purpose. It's almost as if there's a belief that if the forum exists we've got to fill it up with fluff.
Do we really need this forum? I mean, there's been a total of around ten threads about gaming in the last year, all of which have found homes. Obviously they've been deemed necessary by some, but I can see a new forum quickly being swelled with endless 'Top Five' threads.
There's also the mounting cost of the site to take into consideration.
By the way, there have now been at least three threads dedicated to Majestic.
