I do not have to sign on to a forum and info is essentially "pushed" to me. With my work schedule
this is a lot easier for "me" to administer, because I normally keep my email up all day and pop over to that
window/workspace several times an hour. I doubt I would do that in a log-in/click over/review web based forum.

I'd suggest gmail. It automatically arranges threads (or replies) in a forum-like style. Also, the search function makes it very easy to look up information. And with 2654 MB of space, you'll never have to delete information that could be useful in the future.
