Please, no! No no no no no! Forums are awful --- they're slow, clunky,
dreadful from a usability issue, they force your users to go and get the
messages rather than delivering them to your users' inboxes...

If you absolutely must have a webforum-like interface, then try checking out
the GMANE gateway to the mailing list:

But please, let's keep the mailing list!
