... and this is what Staff told me on 1 June 2011 about LiquidThreads:
 * LiquidThreads is likely not going to happen on Wikia any time soon. We tried early versions of it, and many people still remember that going not so well.

...and this is what they told me on 17 May 2011:
 * The LiquidThreads extension used to have major security and design issues that prevented it from being installed our on repository. I believe most of those issues have since been fixed, but it has not yet been installed.


 * We have a team, actually, that is currently looking at forum extensions like LiquidThreads or WikiForum and if either of those pass our usability/security guidelines, then I will get back in contact with you.

My suspicion is that WallForum is the result of this search for some other Forum extension in which they found LiquidThreads lacking. Shame, because LiquidThreads is, frankly, awesome. It produces the clearest discussions I've ever seen on the MediaWiki platform.
