I just use two Forums (Fora?). Both are well moderated and anyone who behaves like a PITA gets ejected. This does require active moderation, though. I use many email lists. These can be moderated, but it is easy to killfile and spam filter them. I much prefer email lists as I can organise and keep the postings in suitable 'mailboxes' and then do regex searches on them to find out things. Although OT in its subject, this means I've been able to find material reaching back to the late 1990s for my 'biog' pages! Not something I'd have found easy with a web forum! So, personally, I'd be happy for any web forums to vanish, and maybe just be email lists. But I'd hate to lose the email lists as they can be very useful as a way to share info.
