The forums may be technically independant - but in fact the people providing most of the answers coincide in both forums. So in fact double postings make more work and thus make the thing less efficient.
I may not know the history and not enough about the people behind both forums. But the OOo Community Forum is technically superior to OOoForum, so I see only disadvantages from the fact that OOoForum additionally exists. Especially from the perspective of (new) users the existence of two "official" forums is quite confusing.
I know this has already been discussed, and I also know the argument that also for other software there may be plenty of forums (and in fact of course also for OOo there are more forums). But these two have an "official" touch, and are the ones primarily used by new users, which makes the thing different.
