I prefer lists to forems. I find them easier to handle.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Mailing Lists or Forums
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.

I have noticed a small trend in the other direction, a lot of new
stuff gets forumed sometimes and the lists left out for ages, so
giving them a miss is probably not a good things eiter.
