You are almost right. But I think Drupal is easier for customizing than wp. Learning drupal is harder, but when you know it, you can easy have a website that you need. I have some site use WP and some sites use Drupal. I use WP for small blog, or when I need a site use special plugin (autoblog, social poster ...). For authority site I prefer Drupal.Ok, let's go...
1). For blog WP is the best - tons of plugins, themes - and most nulled
WP is easy to use and is better for SEO.
But:
WP use to many host resources - cpu time. If you are on shared host and you hit big traffig(i wish you) you will have problems with overuse of cpu resources. Another flaw of WP is to many http requests - your site will load slowly.
2). Joomla is great plathorm for websites - more staticly. Joomla loads the content faster against wp with less http requests. Joomla use less system resources against wp. Joomla is great for high traffic websites.
But:
Joomla has not to many plugins against WP. The user interface is not so user friendly and you need time to work good with Joomla. The default Joomla structure is not good for SEO - you will need plugins.
3). Drupal - i have only 2 sites on Drupal and another people moderate them. What i konw about Drupal:
- Great for big big big traffic.
- Not easy to customize.
- Old and less plugins.
OK, my advice:
- Get VPS - you will not worry about system resources. Install WP. Install cache and seo plugins. If you plan to have international traffic - use cdn network. Looks in G for good wp seo theme and you are ready!
Hope this helps.
For this purpose, in my opinion OP should try Drupal

Hell yeah.. I can't even find documentation for pagination lol.. I was unfortunate enough that I had to build a backend component for a deal site in Joomla. I still remember that it was the worst time in my coding life. I even thought about quitting PHP and becoming a monk (not pun intended).. The project ultimately got cancelled due to some bugs and it made me look like a complete idiot.. I won't ever code in joomla again..
For quick and pretty simple sites - mainly for blogging like activities - wordpress is your friend.
If you're going to do some advanced things - go drupal. It's really well designed platform supported by serious guys.
Joomla is a mess inside

Will you use the forum heavily?
I doubt the plugin forum in Wordpress is good to handle large forum.
Drupal and Joomla are quite good for forum integration.
Joomla has Kunena.
For Drupal, they have forum integration ready. But it's hard to build a drupal site from scratch. Need some time to setup it

From the replies in this thread I should probably familiarize myself with Drupal
Absolutely do not use Joomla.
It's hideously slow, it's complicated, it has ridiculous usability inefficiencies, it has unbelievably crappy extensions, it revamps itself from top to bottom every 6 months on average so you have to spend days adapting your site, it is almost impossible to make custom changes without tampering with the depth of the core code, meaning either you're a very experienced programmer or you need to hire a very experienced one ($$$$$$), plus you have to revisit the changes you made (often manually) with every minor update.
Avoid avoid avoid.

I love using Drupal. I think I'm one of the few that finds it easier to use than Wordpress. Drupal is much more flexible in it's use I find. Wordpress is easier to get off the ground and get running

It's a really false statement. HTML output can be copied from any website. It doesn't depend on the architecture at all.

Really? For me Drupal is the hardest to setup..
Btw, Drupal is very powerful because of their CCK and Views feature. But I still don't know how to use Views.
