A portal is a dynamic home page.
It's a standard for every site to have a portal. Microsoft.com has one, vbulletin.org, gamespot.com, etc. etc. Sites that consist only of forums are sort of awkard alone, and a portal makes it look more like a website; thus more attractive. If you have an HTML page as your home page (static content), there's even more reason for your to install a portal.
