Personally I am not a fan of web forums, but I'm
willing to
be influenced by what people want.
I'd prefer a mailing list as I don't get time to check in on forums.
If the forum can email on new posts and give people the option of
unsubscribing from threads that aren't interesting then maybe that's a
half-way house?
Something that works the way Launchpad Answers does would be great
actually. It gives you the forum feel with good email support and the
ability to mark a thread as "solved" so people know there's no need to
read it unless it interests them.
