[TheList] Forum or Email List

Thu May 28 09:31:06 AEST 2009

I'm not against an email list and I'm not agaisnt a forum...

But a definite advantage to a forum is the retention of helpful information people give others.

As a new member I came in asking alot of questions.
Probably most of which had already been answered in the past.
This coulda all been saved in the forum....
or transferred from the list emails into some form of FAQ for future members to read up on.

hmmmm....

Downside of a forum is, topics go off on tangents very easily and requre heavy moderation.
Forums can get messy.
Emails tend to be more convinient to read and keep up with and nobody likes spam so topics tend to stay relevent.

hmmmm....
