I'm casting my vote for the Mailing Group. It's nice to be able to check my phone for a new message and see if I have to hit my emergency UPDATE SERVER button. Forums that email me could do about the same thing, but there isn't anything wrong with the current mailing list as it stands right now.
And for those who say they don't like the amount of spam that gets sent to your inbox (read spam as: messages not pertaining to your servers/games), you really should check out setting up filters to have these message avoid your inbox unless it's a certain keyword or comes from a Valve worker themselves. If you do go the forum route could you set it up where we can still respond via email or will we have to log into the forums? I'm pretty sure not every admin services their box with a smartphone and ssh client but most times I'm on the road and so this is my best option - if I have to load up a web-browser and then log in just to post a crash report, I will be less inclined to participate in any discussions - which might be a good thing? Either way is fine, maybe it's just nostalgia but Mailing Groups are pretty neato and helpful still. Especially for something like this.
