I'm in the opposite camp.  Invariably any community that has switched 
from newsgroups/mailing lists to a web forum has caused me to forget 
that it even exists in fairly short order.  Not deliberately, just... 
out of sight, out of mind, y'know?

I'm still using gmane for this list, in fact, because it does threading 
better than plain email seems to manage.  And "better threading" seems 
to be one of the common factors for a request to move to forums.  So 
perhaps the Real Solutionâ„¢ is to move back to newsgroups!  (This was 
mostly a joke.  Mostly.)
