I don't like web based forums. They tend to consume lots of time in 
comparison to mail/nntp because you have to poll them (explicitly) 
instead of being async notified (like mail) and the interface just 
can't compete with a decent mail/nntp client. gatewayed solutions are 
of course different again.
