MeddelandeI'm in agreement with most here, and Nick.

There are advantages for each system, and also chat rooms.

I rarely visit forums- too impersonal
I am only on one email list- this one.
I like chat rooms, but most are useless banter- not much about fishing and 
flies.

I'll stick with this one (VFB) if it stays active.

  There are advantages and hindsides with both. (Note: I'm not talking PC based 
email software.)

  Forums keep the topics organized while lists mix them all up together... but 
on the other hand, a list lay them all up in front of you and you don't have to 
look for or miss any new ones.

  Forums save the information (without having to fill your own inbox/mail 
folders) categorized for later and easy viewing (not having to look through 
thousands of messages) and just as easily by new members... but on the other 
hand, when a forum malfunctions or get hacked, a lot of it can easily get lost.

  Forums are more visible to the public and generate more members... but on the 
other hand, since they are more visible (and don't fill up mailboxes) they 
attract more of the less serious members (including spam robots)

  Forums let moderator teams clean up the mess... but on the other hand, lists 
let the individual decide what actually is mess.

  Forums keep the information separated from your private mail... but on the 
other hand, you have to go somewhere else to read them 

  Forums makes it easier to not send offlist messages to the rest by mistake... 
but on the other hand, lists increase the chance to see peoples mistakes. LOL

  Forums post your message immediately while mails can get problems and take 
hours... but on the other hand, if your girlfriend is downloading heavily and 
the router fails, your long forum message will get lost when you post it 
(grrrrrr), while your email software will keep it in the outbox until the 
connection is up again.

  But... lists give more of this intimate group feeling... the thing that 
overrides the rest. :o)

    I have never been able to master the forums.   The list is the way for me.

      I belong to three (3) forums.  Neither of the 3 get much use, and they 
have
      just as many problems as the VFB.  BTW, the Virtual Fly Box website 
      appears to have been removed. 

      However, the Lines End Online Fly Shop is still operational at:
       
      http://linesend.com/

      Back before we went with Google, there was a Forum available on the
      VFB website. There was also a Chat Room.  It was a late night deal
      and not everyone like DonO, Allan and I are "late Owls."

      Byard has lots of good deals right now, and some close out prices on
      selected items.

        I prefer the current format of VFB.  I've tried forums (fori?) and 
didn't really like the format. 

        But, as the old saying goes, I'm no longer a youngster, although I hate 
to admit it.
