Ok, I've had some more time to sit down and play with it.
Like lots of things today, there actually is an option to skip the registration process and start using, but it's hiding in plain sight in the fine print.
It then takes you to a page where it queries your interests to build a list of suggested forums. Check off the ones that you want then the fun begins.
There are feed-style panes that draw from your list, or a sidebar style forum interface similar to the mail app on the ipad. It seems ok, but probably not appreciably better if you're already used to the typical vB or other forum in a browser. Perhaps it's much more appealing on a smaller device like an iPhone that can't comfortably display a full browser page, but on an iPad, I think it's a wash.
