This has been hashed out so many times on this list.  No, it wouldnt, 
why make everyone search thru forums, sub forums, find where there post 
goes ..is it ivtv or is it mythtvfrontend or mythtvbackend related, get 
the idea?  Email is easier to use, no membership needed, no PMs, just 
straigh up email, read the subject and you know what the topic is,  and 
theres a searchable archive, searchable just like any forum would have.  
Dont fix it if it aint broken.

P.S.  Top posting is evil, you read from top to bottom, not bottom to 
top, the info flows from top down.
