Judging from myself, users don't like to have to subscribe to mailing lists, especially when they don't need the list on a daily basis. E.g. I would hate to get every question and answer in the Spring forums as mail. I'd much rather check the forums every once in a while. > I hate the fact I always have to subscribe to forums and > never liked the interfaces. You misunderstood: Patrick told me that the 'special' feature of the system that they use at OpenQA is that it can be used both as a mailing list (e.g. for the developers) and a forum (for the users if you want). Therefore, you'd register at a mailing list just as before and have nothing to do at all with the forum-view, but users could instead use the forum (and thus won't get all the - for them - noise). And the system automatically maps between the mailing list and the forum. That being said, I don't know how powerful the system is, e.g. if it would support a 'schema' like the tagging used for the commons mailing list ([beanutils], [lang], etc.) and would be able to sort mails into the corresponding forums automagically.
