Forums vs. email is a normal debate that comes up every 6-12 months on
most mailing lists I'm on.  Converting isn't hard - go to yahoogroups
or many of us can set up some kind of forum software.  

If there was to be a vote though, I keep my vote for getting things via
email.  I find it easier to keep track of read/unread messages, and
email acts as an aggregator for me, putting the things I care about all
in one place.  opposed to forums where I have to manually go to a
bunch of different links just to see if there's something new.
