Hi Shaun, Yeah, I know, but what I was looking for here is some actual figures as to how many blind gamers prefer mailing lists over forums or forums over lists. So far while there seem to be a handful of us in favor of a forum the majority by far seem to like lists better.
However, the USA Games community isn't that large to really require a forum anyway. There is only like 40 to 45 people subbed to the list at any given time, and it has been very low traffic of late. Forums seem to be more popular with large game companies like Electronic Arts or someone like that who has thousands of subscribers on any given day. with that many subscribers a mailing list would be totally impractical as it could never keep up with the hundreds of posts that would be typical of a subscriber list that size, and even if it did I doubt the average gamer wants 500 e-mails poring into their inbox daily. So obviously large companies really need a forum for heavy message traffic rather than a mailing list.
