And how would you do that? It would involve triaging bugs, which is
the whole point of a bug day...

I am not sure there is an advantage to use the forum instead of IRC.
The only imaginable one would be to integrate those who don't "like"
IRC, but you loose the immediateness of IRC.
Personally I see IRC as a real-time collaboration tool. While the
forum is nice for support,  during a bug day you need the immediate
response, and that is something you don't have with the forum. We
could use email as well in that case, the speed is the same, and
nobody suggested to use this mailing list for bug days so far, or did
I just miss that suggestion?

Understand me well, I like the forum a lot and use it daily for
support, but it is simply not suitable for bug tracking, so why would
it be for a bug day? Using it for instructions? Well, we have the wiki
for that, so again the forum would be redundant. In bug triaging time
counts a lot, so loosing time to integrate yet another tool is not
really productive IMHO.
