This was a really helpful discussion for me. I understand the group/forum relationship so much better now and it seems to simply break down to semantics. You could even use the Facebook “page” analogy with groups where peeps become a fan of or join a page (group) and there are child features therein.
So this could in theory be fixed for some folks/clients by altering the labeling of groups to fit the site… no? (i.e. change Group to Discussion Group, Page, or [site name] Forum)

Please give me the smack-down if i’m off base here. I don’t want to misinform.
