I'm glad you mentioned that because I was kind of wondering the same thing before.
Then I used Impulse's blog feature in order to write about my experiences with Demigod. There's a pane on the right side for you to select which forum you want to place your blog/thread. There was only two approximate options: Demigod journals (on which I was unable to post there) and Stardock games. Nothing else was that appropriate.
You see, I like the feature where posts are both seen in the Impulse community section and on a specific forum. I started using "My Impulse" just recently anyway. I noticed it was somewhat broken in this case, probably because there are tons of different forums to consider and link (forum structure too bloated?).
Even before that, I first tried to place that post in the multiplayer section of Demigod, but then didn't see it link to the community blog area and later noticed that the forum was being used mostly for player recruitment. Then I proceeded to write an updated blog about it but then had limited options.
So, at least for some, it's not a question of ignoring the proper forums, but a matter of limited options with the tools provided.
Cheers.
