A mailinglist is by far superior, faster and doesn't cost much time to moderate compared to something like phpBB. Mailinglist archives are searchable and nicely threaded. phpBB forums tend to be less searchable and bloated with lots of extra crap such a private messages, huge buttons, nasty javascript interfaces, registration methods, next-day exploits, and others... Plus you would have to have some regular moderators, update the phpBB software every couple of weeks etc. Mailinglists can be very fast, efficient and just so plain easy/ simple (they're e-mails!). For example: setup a message filter in your e-mail client and enable threaded view, isn't that great? regards, Pim
