Whether or not a forum is a better idea isn't really depending on the
subject matter IMHO. Its success or failure depends on what the
prospective participants like better. I personally cannot stand
forums. That's a place where I have to expend energy to go there and
manually click through stuff. If I remember to go there and say up to
date, that is. Email comes to me, and is sorted suitably on the server
side so there is no clutter. Deleting messages I don't care about is
much easier than clicking myself through some thread on a forum.
You never heard of a forum that sends new posts to you via email?
I prefer forums where I can subscribe to the forum topics that interest
me, and see only posts for those topics - yes, in my email.
Then each message from the forum should have links to the CENTRALIZED
FAQs (I understand there are a lot of different forums/faq's out there).
That said, I seem to be in the minority in preferring forums for supprt
related things like this - especially high volume stuff - so I'll just
pipe down now...
:)
can't forget about forum RSS feeds too.. then you can selectively pick
which messages you want to view..
Too bad you didn't include the word "forum" in the subject.
It's called a .procmailrc:
