Why are forums classified as Web 1.0 still? I think Web 2.0 was about the ability of people being able to create content without having to set up their own website, mostly fuelled by AJAX and similar technologies. Wikipedia has an even broader definition:
Web 2.0 (also known as participative (or participatory) web and social web) refers to websites that emphasize user-generated content, ease of use, participatory culture and interoperability (i.e., compatibility with other products, systems, and devices) for end users.
This applies to forums, as far as I’m concerned. And yes, Web 2.0 was a mistake.
