A Google Group might be good because it can be used as mailman serv with a
nice visual frontend and archive. People who like this current format could
keep using it or people who are for forums could opt out of email updates
and just browse through the frontend. Everything would be much easier to
find and it could also host as file repositories for admin resources or a
dedicated place to upload crash dumps.

Beyond that I actually wish this list had more actual discussion in it.
There a few people on the list that treat it like a glorified newsletter
from valve and if anyone starts a thread other than a valve dev or replies
with something they personally believe has been clarified already or is not
relevant they become very aggressive and attack the person. Oddly enough
they are also the fist people to complain about getting spammed by the list
and the ones that generally break all threaded email clients with broken
">>>>>" spam. If you don't have anything constructive to say then just dont
say anything and if you really think the extra 20 emails a day is a problem
then switch to digest mode so you only get one email each day.
