I'm on the side of "It ain't hurting no-one, so might as well keep it".
My main problem with Company control of discussion media (whether official mailing list, Forum, what-have-you) is, while "go out of business" is hardly ever a company's business model (I *did* work for one RPG company whose goal was to be bought out...), it does happen, and then the fans are stuck, and a mad scramble to create yahoogroups starts (much as what happened with HeroWars way back when). I've seen it several times, to different companies and in different areas.
I understand the needs and wants of the company, but fan-based discussion media still has a place.
