Webforum suck.
In Mutt I can go through the 200-300 posts of a day in maybe one hour,
delete threads with a few finger moves, reply here and there, maybe
save worthwile contributions. There are no distraction in Mutt, I
can see as many mails or threads as I like, I can use my own
filters, spam is no problem, in short: reading a mailinglist is
effortless.
If I compare this to the pain of a web based message bulletin, where
every visit is another "how stupid is this stuff", I can't even
imagine why people would want to use a forum for anything serious.
But hey: feel free to devote your own time to YAFF
