-1 from me, too. Even with rss-feeds forums are imho not as easy to use as my mail client and even with rss I have to go to the information. Google groups is nice though but only because I am using gmail and can subscribe to everything via mail.
Google Groups is great in that the participants can have things either way: used as a forum or used as a mailing list depending on your individual preference.
I much prefer forums when I'm not interested in every post, and conversely with mailing lists: better when everything is interesting.
