I always wanted to ask the same question, but I have a believe that FlightGear uses a mailing list for a reason, so I never ask. Anway, I like the idea of having a dedicated online message board for FlightGear. The primary reason why I like online message board is that all the posts in a topic are grouped under one thread and are sorted by dates, which is more organized in my opinion. Old discussions can also be read easily this way. Also, I think an online message board is more convient because all the messages are stored in one centralized location, and people can access the board from anywhere on any machine. I will stop here however, since it is pretty obvious that the majority have a different view than I do when it comes to message board. Perhaps one can think about removing the user list and turning it into a message board? I think FlightGear would be able to attract more loyal users this way.
