I will not use a web-forum, ever.  I won't stop you setting one up,
but I will not read it, and certainly not post anything there.  I just
cannot stand the cumbersome, featureless interfaces of those things.

Mailing lists are perfectly adequate, nicely complemented by the more
direct, informal medium of IRC.
