Antoine,
If I understand this correctly, this list's all ~28,000 posts that I've
answered since 2002. This does not help me monitor forums with new
questions.
For that, in Thunderbird, I use feeds, e.g.,
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/feed.php?mode=m&l=1&basic=1&frm=108&n=200&format=rss
So it still feels more like emails that arrive. But of course I cannot
reply, I must follow the link to the forum web page and compose mail
using the not-so-lovely forum software (that you must monitor very
carefully to ensure that your post is really accepted, which can and
does take as long as 30 seconds). And it's not so easy to figure out
how to set this up!
Please note that a fundamental complaint here is that user questions
have dropped dramatically. I wonder also if the flow of answers has
also dropped. I'd be happy to see statistics that contradict this
assertion. In fact, I'd be happy to see statistics.

The newsgroups were good but the forum has always been bad. The
syncing didn't work well, and even when it did work, it butchered
any HTML newsgroup posts and it butchered forum posts. To fix
that problem, the newsgroups were finally killed and now traffic
is dramatically reduced across the board, as Tom too has noticed
and as I asked about in Bugzilla:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=348464#c99
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=348464#c99>
But apparently the current situation is more cool than before,
though in the end, it seems that the current approach serves no
one very well: users are asking fewer questions and it's harder to
track and answer the questions that are asked.
It's a daily frustration for anyone like me who answers a lot of
questions:

The following is my personal opinion and includes some
frustration so
take it with a grain of salt.
Well in the good old times we ALL used newsgroups
who had been perfectly
integrated into mail-clients, then came the forums (we've
been told that
the cool kids are not using newsgroups and it was too
much work to keep
the sync between those in place) and are now stuck with
them, although they:
- managed to drop the traffic eg for e(fx)clipse by
I'd say >70%
- don't work reliable
- ...
Bottom line: Eclipse.org forces you, your
contributors, users to give up
on old habits and use an IMHO not useable forum software
(you loose
replies, sometimes it is offline, ...).
I've not made the decision for e(fx)clipse what
we'll use for the future
(google-groups eg integrate with mail-clients) but if you
want to do
yourself a favor don't start with the forum thing.
The criteria:
- needs support async communication
- needs to integrate into my mail client
- needs to be available on mobile devices
- needs to be available in a browser
- (extra bonus) should integrate itself into my IDE
