The problem with forums is that they have to be fairly popular,
well-traveled, and frequently posted on to be of any real use.  Judging
by
the number of messages to the Nessus list (a lot of these coming from
first-time users), this might not do too well as a forum.  The benefit
you
get from an e-mai list is that a lot of people are too lazy to
unsubscribe
and might end up answering your questions.

Use me as an example.  I originally signed up to ask a question and I
never unsubscribed.  As a result I've probably responded to a number of
posts from others.  If this was a message board, I'd probably have
looked
for responses to my message and never traveled back again until I had a
problem.

Just my two cents.
