I am in the same situation, but with over 20k users on the old forum and less threads, but with synchronization with and WP installation, so each user could have created a blog and there were several blogs active. I looked for a very long time before choosing eZ Publish because I wanted to completely integrate the forum and the blogs with the rest of the site (and, of course, learn the platform so that I can do complex websites on request also for others). I believe that this is the future of the internet, it is quite obvious, professional content + community driven content. I never though of the problem of users being able to change their e-mail address and it is pretty serious as new users were planned to get some bonuses when they register (so, in this situation, they can change only their e-mail address and then register a new user with the old e-mail address). Anyway, some template editing to remove the e-mail text input when editing the user details should be half of solution and I doubt too many have the knowledge to do manual requests to the server to change the e-mail. The one click publishing I believe it is not really an issue, some javascript can transform the click to have the same behavior as the create/edit buttons from website toolbar extension. What I wonder is why eZ Publish is not trying to create some feature complete extensions for forums, blogs, wikis etc... It is not like reinventing the wheel...
