As I said: IMHO Webforums can do everything the mailing list can do
(which is not a lot) plus a bit more.
(although I don't know if you can send responses via email)

For me that sounds like a good argument.

A good example how a forum should look like is
http://www.delphipraxis.net/forum6_vcl+winforms+controls.html
(a german developer forum, quite active, this subtree has 180.000
entries, the complete tree has 990.000 entries and is still quick,
easy to use and good searchable)

Ok, I do understand.
Let's put it the other way round: What functionality do you need?

Btw: I'm mainly talking about the -help - group.
I have no insight in the -core-groups, but I suppose for
developer-communication you will use Mantis or some other bugtracker
anyway.
