Hi Pugdog,
I agree with a lot of what you say - and I'm sure that for a Links-only site your plugin will be exactly what people are looking for. I just know that from the experience of having a profile system in Links already and trying to integrate it with the profiles from GForum I found it so much easier once I decided to use the Community table for shared data rather than pulling data between the applications. As far as I can see, there isn't really an alternative to using Community if you are using GForum and GLinks - so if you are using it you may as well make use of the tables - just my opinion.
