I think that having Less Wrong host the almost-official HPMOR forum (i.e. the one on which Eliezer sometimes comments and sometimes asks for translation help) is a very good thing for Less Wrong in terms of attracting new people. Since Eliezer thinks that’s a good thing, I expect him not to add an official HPMOR forum anywhere other than Less Wrong.
The authors notes name the direct readers to the thread on TV Tropes for discussion, and to Less Wrong for the Sequences. The author also posts in the thread on TV Tropes.
Also, a successful forum would increase traffic to the hpmor.com by a very large amount. The potential for increased cost may not fit the plan for whoever provides that host.

Good point. My Bayes-score takes a hit.
That makes sense. Perhaps not an actual forum, but something more similiar to FF.net’s reviews? Not for discussion, but for feedback.
