Aren't a Q&A site *and* a forum quite overlapping?

What is missing from the current together.jolla.com that you would have in a forum?

Currently (to my knowledge):
  * You can edit your posts afterwards
  * You can have sticky posts
  * You can find quickly the right [TM] answer
  * You can have karma
  * You cannot have sections and subsections (but you have tags)
  * You can have mail notifications of posts

Should we invest our time into making a better together.jolla.com rather than a 
different platform (this is not rhetorical)?
