But would you use it instead of the mailing-lists if it would be there?
This has been brought up several times in the last 20 years or so.
And no, I would likely not use it. The mailing list posts come in
automatically to my mailbox, nicely filtered, even when I am not on my
main computer. I can read and answer if necessary when ever I have time.
A web forum requires to have the time to actively log in and see what is
new. Time which I might not have.
That's why I prefer to have the mailing lists. It just seems that less
and less people these days know how to properly handle emails,
apparently don't even know anymore how to send an email to a mailing
list instead of doing full quote replies on digest or unrelated topic
threads. Using a web browser to deal with email is one of the fallacies
these days, instead of using a proper email client, which also would be
able to properly show threads and not only email in chronological order
of being send...
