I'm in the opposite camp. Invariably any community that has switched from newsgroups/mailing lists to a web forum has caused me to forget that it even exists in fairly short order. Not deliberately, just... out of sight, out of mind, y'know? I'm still using gmane for this list, in fact, because it does threading better than plain email seems to manage. And "better threading" seems to be one of the common factors for a request to move to forums. So perhaps the Real Solution™ is to move back to newsgroups! (This was mostly a joke. Mostly.)
