I prefer the list, but if the question was existential, a forum would be better 
than nothing.

  Subject: Stus-List Email List or Forum


  Recently, some of our subscribers have indicated that they would like to have 
a “Forum” similar to “cruisersforum” or “sailnet” instead of an email list 
(like this one).

  PROS:
  1. Eliminate the costs related to the email list
  2. Follow a thread easier without having to read multiple emails.
  3. Easier to find past, archived messages and threads.
  4. Possible addition of public and private photo albums.
  5. Easily moderated by more than one person.  Threads can be deleted and 
undesirable subscribers blocked.
  6. No more 20-30 emails a day.  Visit the site at your convenience and view 
the latest topics since your last visit.

  CONS:
  1. Forum software runs from free to around $250 depending on additional 
enhancements.
  2. Might (???) require additional disk space and bandwidth on hosting site. 
($$$$)
  3. Installation – I’ve done it before and it does take some time.  And a bit 
more time involved to get it tweeked to perfection.

  Bottom line – would you rather have a FORUM or continue using this list?  It 
does not matter to me.
