Is there a place where I see the popular opinion of developers?

I really want to know popular opinion on controversial programming topics. Questions like: Why do some people prefer vi over emacs (or vice versa)? Is Java faster than C++? Is Intel faster than AMD?

How does one retrieve and display posts on a forum?

I'm struggling with a conceptual question. When you have a forum with thousands of posts and/or threads, how do you retrieve all those posts to be displayed on your site?

What alternatives are there to forums?

During a conversation about a site (with a forum) I am about to launch, a friend raised the point that Facebook and its ways have more or less killed off forums.
