Put me in the same column. I loathe forums with a passion. They are a
horrifically bad interface for pretty much everything other than
"getting indexed by Google". Ironically, the Drupal project* issue
queues are the forum-type system I despite the least, out of all the
ones I've used. Despite email architecture itself being a patchwork of
crap (SMTP, POP, IMAP, all with ugly configs and that's before you even
get to spam or filtering or MIME), it's still a much better interface
for most conversations, even those with poor signal to noise ratio, than
any forum software I've seen, Drupal or otherwise.
There's a reason I've never been active in the Drupal forums, only lists
and IRC.

difficult to locate much of anything. Here on this list, I can read the
first few of a thread and decide if I have any interest in following it
any further. If I do, I keep reading; if I do not, I delete it
automatically. As for searching, I can do that in the emails I retain.
