Either way is fine with me. The problem with forums, is that if it is

on a slow server, or if it is badly organized from a user interface

perspective, it can be a nightmare to use.
Plus, you often end up with a lot of bickering about how it should

look/feel/behave. Also, *someone* ends up stuck with spending a lot of

time maintaining it, and I imagine it is much more costly from a

hosting perspective. PHPBB also tends to get borked by script-kiddies

out to prove their l33t-ness by vandalizing any site they can.
Mailing lists are nice, as you have a lot of flexibility as to how to

read/organize/archive-I personally like Gmail's ability to auto-label,

as well as organizing by discussion thread, and allowing really good

searchability, whereas a forum dictates the entire user experience for

you.
