I watch this thread at a glance, but I think idea of forum isn't bad as long 
as it can integrate with mailing list. It's just because you can't say to 
people "from tomorrow all of you will use forums instead of mailing lists".

I generally prefer forums, over mailing lists (if ofcourse forums works fast, 
with short latancy).

But as suggestion from my side, a really good example of functionality is 
NetBeans formus and mailing lists. There, user can join, as well forums and/or 
mailing list, each of those is synchronized so every post on forum you can get 
by mail and vice versa, you can, as well respond by mail to post, and your 
response will be on forum. And as I see "1st Dedicated Forum" has this.

One of nice soultions there is every user has some kind alias e-mail, so you 
responds to eg "rsmogura@xxxxxxxxxxxx", not to private addresses, and this 
protects you form receiving spam.

Kind regards,
Radek
