I have to set my vote in for the email list.

The forum page you have Jaime is quite nice. But I find that it is far
easier for me to keep up with an email list than a forum browsing. As
noted
earlier, I have to take an active action to go look at forums, browse
all
the topics, see what I might or might not be interested in reading, then
later remember what I've read and responded to, etc. A mailing list I
find
to be far far easier to manage.

Now, that said, if the GZG player resource pool were exceedingly
massively
huge, and there were hundreds of msgs a day coming through, then I'd
vote
forum (even though that would mean my participation would be cut
drastically
due to the earlier-outlined reasons). But given the number of posts that
currently go through the email list, I think a forum is unwarrented for
the
time being.
