The idea of forcing the abomination called forums on long time users of the list has already been discarded. There's nothing wrong with a site where one can go and use something like Google to find individual posts. A lot of lists I'm on have searchable list archives accessible that way, often provided by the list server software they're using. That doesn't require use of a forum.
I second that. LAD/LAU were the first mailing lists I subscribed to. Before, I used and knew only forums. And I can say, mailing list is a MUCH more effective (and more personal: you send a letter to many people, instead of writing something on a board that everybody can see). Regards, Dmitry.
