<soapbox> Me neither. In contrast to e-mail, they are an asinine way to communicate. Having to "poll" (i,e, go to a webpage and check to see if there are any replies to your messages) is just silly. If I had to do that for every mailing list I am on I'd spend all day checking webpages just in case somebody has replied to me. And before somebody tells me I can get an e-mail when somebody replies to me on a forum, that's like having the postman come to my door and tell me that there is mail at the post office for me to go pick up instead of him just bringing it with him. If people really want pretty little web-pages with silly little 20x4 boxes to type in to communicate with, I wish somebody would come up with a forums<->email (i.e. two way -- I get forum posts in e-mail and I can post to forums via e-mail) gateway so that busy old codgers like me can participate without having to waste most of their day polling web pages. </soapbox> In any case, I have bothered the PunBB developers about this [lack of] feature. b.
