Does anyone know of a forum similar to this but with VHS vids included in the discussion. I know I'm not the only one with a mixed format collection and most of VHS titles out there don't yet have a DVD counterpart. There are also plenty of studios who haven't made the jump to DVD releases. I think such a forum would be worthwile but I haven't found one. Anybody?

I wasn't even aware actually that they were still coming out with vhs only titles. But I don't follow this stuff much. Maybe someone else knows of a site that caters to vhs releases.

Actually, svadas, nearly all DVD titles are first released on VHS. There's a considerable lag between the video availablity and the DVD (if they even port the title to DVD).
That's the reason I still have to visit the video store to see what's new on the scene. Otherwise, I'd have to wait six months to a year before the stuff comes to DVD. For example, Peter North's North Pole series is up to volume 12 in the VHS, while I think the DVDs are up to volumes 5 or 6. Real Sex Magazine will hit volume 30 before the middle of this year, and Freshman Fantasies is in the 20s already. So there's quite a bit of catchup to do on the DVD libraries.
The best studio when it comes to new releases making it to DVD in the shortest amount of time seems to be VCA, which claims "world premiere" titles on DVD instead of just backfilling with old movies. A far cry from day-and-date release like you see on the mainstream side, but it's getting better as the big studios begin principal photography with DVD in mind.

Gargoyle: Other than the industry-standard newsgroup, rec.arts.movies.erotica (RAME), I don't know of any other forums that cater primarily to VHS. I don't think it's a problem to discuss VHS releases here, since this forum also includes general discussions of porn and sex. I think if it ever does get to be a problem, that ADT could create a separate forum for VHS specific questions and postings (akin to the "In Theaters Now" forum on DVD Talk).
I'll kick off a VHS specific post later tonight with a mini-review of one of the major award winners in this year's AVN awards, Jonathan Morgan's Double Feature from Wicked. This movie is only available right now on VHS (and an expensive VHS tape to boot), though I'm sure it will appear on DVD sooner rather than later.
