Discussion forums offer a great way to find out whats happening in your field, chat with other like minded people and to get your business queries answered. Forums also offer the opportunity for novices to learn from the more experienced forum members. The tone in these forums is light-hearted and friendly. The only thing that is not tolerated is overt self promotion. However, you can usually leave a link to your website on each 'post' you make and this can be a great source of traffic to your site.
