So it will be the end of the topic for me because you don't want to 
understand: how will you recruit the hundred of contributors currently 
taking care of the forums if they don't want to be force to use Drupal? 
Will you tell them that you don't care about them, as you're don't care 
about what I try to explain to you since weeks ?

Yes, shame on me, you're right. My decision is to go for Drupal where 
needed and to respect the community decision if they don't want to use 
Drupal as a 'all in one tool' because they are already doing a great 
work with another tool and want to stay with it. Period.
So you can blame me, but I won't move from this position to battle for 
the respect of the community. And again a tool if far from a community 
in my eyes.

just that you need an access to the web, that was what I mean. Not 
everybody has a web access.

So as said at the beginning of this mail, end of topic for me.

Kind regards
