Depending on the people in it. I've seen some very large communities
that
aren't worth the bandwidth they use up.

Becuase the project isn't to the stage yet. Functionality is a longer
process to integrate and you have to have the interface framework
sometimes done first to do some of the other stuff. I went to get the
framework done so that I could actually spend the time on the
funtionality
of the backend without wasing my time.

I don't know what you're basing that on or your criteria, cause I view
it
the opposet way. I find email so much more limiting then a forum, which
is
why I flop between completely ignoring the list when not actively
playing
GZG games and reading it all. It's just way to clunky for me.
