I don't know that I have ever looked at the forums, but I do know that some
forum software does have the capability to act as a mailing list as well
(with wide variations in quality)

That would be the best of both worlds if you ask me. Something like google
groups, where you can participate entirely via email if you desire, or use
the browser.

It is a shame that the implementation of the forums has fragmented the
community.  Would be great to bring it back together if it were possible.
