Why create the forums if they're going to be severly curtained?Tiki is wonderful,but people DO have other thoughts other than tiki,and would like to share them with others.Online forums are,of course,for specific topics,but most of us are multifaceted,and have other things to say.I don't agree with this decision.

if you read hl's announcement, he addresses your concerns:

i think this is a good idea (my only gripe is that now i gotta log in to read all the threads - no big deal).

i have all sorts of non-tiki thoughts and interests and find that there are certainly plenty of other online forums to discuss them.

i personally haven't noticed any problems w/ the beyond & bilge forums, but it's been my experience over the years that hl runs a tight ship & really listens to the concerns of others. i don't think his decision was made casually & i don't think it will inhibit the free flow of info about all things tiki.
