There are some folks who simply prefer email lists over web-based forums.
I ended up having both a web based forum and a mailing list for the
Drakelist....and while both are active communties, there are many on
the email list who don't do the forum thing and vice versa.
FWIW I was losing the plot with only the mailing list. I still have the
Yahoo! mailing list but the forums are where I provide support for my
users, also there is a small key group of supporters which regularly
help the bewildered.
With potential Elecraft forums you can subscribe so that you only get
the K3 postings, myself I am not a K2 owner. You can create forums
restricted to your beta testers (something I do a lot). Users can post
and attach pictures or logfiles. In general forums become a great
self-help facility.
I still use the Yahoo! forums for kit announcements just like Saturday
morning's great K3 news.
Take a look - you do not need to register or part with any $ -

Congratulations Elecraft on the new rig. If the close in RX numbers are
as good as I've been surmising, equal to or better than the TT Orion II,
you will have a hot seller.
IMHO "Forums" like Simon's and others are they way to go.
If you have a K2 support question you post it in the K2 section of the
forums, ditto KX1, K1, K3, KPA800, etc.... The computer enthusiast
community, both hardware and software, have been using forums instead of
mail lists for years.
