Though I come to the mailing list often simply because it is somewhat convenient, I also prefer forums. As it is, I've been running one successful (filesite.org) forum for almost five years and been trying to get a few others going. I agree that PHPbb is the best choice, even when compared to Invision, Stentz and the others. I like being able to add attachments and screen shots and I appreciate the threading capabilities. Also the ability to segregate items by subject works really well. In addition, the smilies, avatars and signatures are very nice for community building. HOWEVER - the mailing list does have some benefits. There seem to be a large community of SUSE geeks here who have some good information. I've yet to have an issue finding an answer here in the short time I've been asking my newbie questions. If you still want a forum, there are many to choose from. I frequent linuxquestions.org, which is more general but has a thriving SUSE section. I also have used http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/ and a few of the other 2,650,000 google hits for SUSE forums.
