What defines an 'idea'? The topics are so broad that creating a forum would lead to information overload, as pointed above by lysol.
For example, I have an idea to harness solar energy and power my gadgets, how would I file it? What tags would I use? It would get very messy very fast.
Then again, ideas want to have sex, and a messy environment can lead to a breakthrough. But forums are too linear, perhaps brainstorms are a better approach. My startup, http://www.wikibrains.com (beta) is aiming to 'engineer serendipity' by having users share content or brief comments on a 'per topic' basis or string search. It is a difficult task.
