I'm no expert on Web forums but have some observations. IMO, a "best of
both worlds" solution would be to have a Web based board that sends email.
For myself, the appeal of email (as opposed to a forum) is that I don't have
to go searching for new messages, determine what I've read and what I
haven't, make sure I respond in the correct folder, etc.
I have to agree. Web boards are slow and tedious, they take far longer to load into my browser than email takes to arrive, and I don't have the time to click-and-load a bunch of folders and messages. If I get busy, I never sign on. On the other hand, my email gets sorted as it arrives in my inbox and I can quickly scan through the resulting list. I am much less likely to participate in a web forum.
