Firstly, I have a conflict of interest (I'm a phpBB Team Member) so I'll just offer information/answer questions. My preference is obvious.
With regards to emails, you can, if you wish, subscribe to a forum/topic and you will then receive new emails for new topics/posts. However they don't generally include the topic/post content however https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=1095015 adds the content to the emails. A note about MODs for phpBB, they'll quite often stay in RC for years due to the way their release cycles work and stable means getting your MOD validated (which is a strict process) and into the phpBB customisations database. You cannot reply to these emails (or you can but it won't add a reply to the topic), however, again, https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=603719 might solve that problem. The latter is no longer supported by the author (he isn't active any more) and doesn't work on latest phpBB I'm sure it won't be too much work to get it working. If your not a fan of the whole fora splitting up discussions on the board idea then there is something called phpBB Basic which makes the board into one forum. Screenshots, Info, Download etc. is available from https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/phpbbasic/ or a demo at http://www.davidiq.net/phpbbasic/ However segregating development from support, as is done now on the two MLs, might a good idea?
