It's been my experience (since i got this address in 1994) that things that come to me, like mailing lists, get and maintain my attention; while things like forums (and their direct descendants -- Facebook and G+ and so forth) that require me to go look at them to find if anything is new fade away. I have lost count of the number of fora I have joined over the years, often to get community support for a particular problem, that I have never returned to again after my question was answered. Contrast that with my interaction with this mailing list, which has survived three platforms and two name changes, and by my count has resulted in me writing 791 posts since 2006. My initial messages were questions, and I stood on the shoulders of giants here. Lately the majority of my posts are answers to other people's questions. It's that part of the equation that I fear gets lost in a non-push environment, to the detriment of all.
