Well, after digging halfway across the map, building a set of floodgates, building a lovely aquaduct over the chasm, and accidentally flooding my fort when I built an aquaduct over the river, I finally managed to succeed in channeling lava to a point near my main work area, only to find out that you can't build lava forges with channeled lava. I don't know if this is a design decision or just something that hasn't been coded for, and I guess I should pay more attention to the wiki, but it does make me wonder what the hell the point of being able to channel lava is, other than giving you a more interesting way to drown invaders. Are there any plans to put this in, or a reason why it won't be implemented?

P.S. I <3 DF, keep up the good work!

This is, indeed, something planned for the future.  Toady said the risk of having a route for lava creatures to go into the heart of your fortress will balance the advantage it gives you.
