I don't care either way. But your argument is wrong.
Most forums will email you about a subscribed thread. You can get an email for every update or a daily digest. Also, a lot of forums have mobile apps that will notify you (xda-developers for instance). It allows you to read only what you care about and get notified anywhere you are. I think we need an RSS site. Discuss. Call names. Shout and cry.

If it had been my choice: because I'd have to go to a forum every day (and a hundred others!) while email comes to me. I have plenty of powerful email search and filter tools right here on my workstation. Every time someone proposes some other medium for this sort of communication (forum, Twitter, etc.) my first question is "how can I get that in email?" I can't think offhand of any forum software I've used that isn't uncomfortable, inconvenient and hard to search. -- Mark H.
