Hi tom.
well in fairness all you need to actually do to get the new posts on a forum
is click the "new posts" link. Some forums I admit can be a pest to
navigate, but punbb, and especially the customized version of punbb that
audiogames.net uses tends to be fine.
while I agree mailing list delivery is convenient, for me it also has a
drawback. i'll hapily sign up to many forums even if temporarily, or even if
i just want to ask a question. if I start playing a game, i'll sign up to
the forum just to ask about that specific game, indeed I might well sign up
to the storm8 forumswhile I test the games. Same goes for forums for other
things, for instance I signed up to a doctor who forum when i was writing
Dr. who episode reviews. Even if I don't post much, it doesn't matter, and
there is no practical limit on how many forums I sign up for.
Mailing lists on the other hand I am very careful about, and other than
signing up for news letters or the like. won't join discussion lists, since
I don't want that volume of mail through my inbox, I have more than enough
already.
so there are pros and cons to both systems really and i can quite understand
why people prefer one or the other.
all the best,
dark.
