Yes. May single forms installations (like phpBB) has private messages
integrated in their forums as I guess it was easiest and fastest to adopt.
But as we experienced, users like much more an dedicated interface as is
cleaner, more logic and with different functionality (ex friends list). And
for administration view is a smaller and faster api then a forum. And
because users send really a lot of private messages (much more then post in
forms, for us 500 in forums, and 20k private) is performance is something
important. Yeah, as always ;)

I name it usms as User Short Message System, But we can call it Letter - 
dictionary: a written message from one person to another.
