... I don't have to fire up my browser and visit a particular
site in order to search for a thread that I once posted on
with a forum, you get an email every time someone replies in a thread that
you're subscribed to
you are automatically subscribed to every thread in which you have posted,
and you can subscribe to other threads as well
so this is ~much~ better than a mailing list, because
1. you get emails for every thread you're interested in, and
2. you ~don't~ get emails for ~everything~ that's posted on the forum
some people might view this second point as a drawback ("i don't get to see
everything that's going on any more") but it's really a feature -- you can
easily see the "everything" list of posts by visiting the "get new posts"
page in the forum
i've been on multiple forums for between 7 and 9 years, and forums are more
member-friendly than mailing lists
