+1 for email. I dislike forums, their slow, kludgy. You have to sign in to post, I never know the password, it's always a pain. Yes I understand that if your posting regularly you stay signed in or cache passwords. But that's not me :) I think more people are apt to respond from their email client b/c it's faster and easier. I generally do not participate in forums, but my gmail account probably has 30+ mailing lists. Some in digest form for things that are not as important as they used to be. and some that I see every message. Generally I can scan subjects and or emails and decide to archive/respond or not. Google's advanced search with searching a URL seems to work well when you know the mailing list. Plus there are always sites like http://marc.info that index lists well. I don't like the way we setup our mailing list, with the HTML archives, I guess I understand the benefits. But to me nothing wrong with the regular mailman archives. Maybe I'm just so used to mailman archives that they don't bother me. But I've seen a forum yet that made me want to participate let alone admin. How many security advisories have things like phpBB had. And yes I've deployed phpBB and Simple Machines, and still don't like them. But hey everyone is different right? I'm all for improving things, as long as it's not a step backwards....
