IIRC, it was about a 50/50 split between forums and mailing lists, although not formal vote was ever taken. I think the answer would be to have both and a gateway between the two so anything on the forums goes to the list and vice versa. I've no idea about the technical feasibility/difficulty of this, but it would keep everybody happy, IMHO. Oh, and welcome to the list!
