I occasionally use forums. They work well for the one off question about something you don't want to "dive" into.
For instance I had to work on my fridge a year or so ago. I went to a forum. Asked one question, had an answer the next day and went on with my life.
What would you have done if the answer had been "sorry, you'll have to call the service line for that"?
Likely called, but if the answer was join a mailing list, I would have likely looked for another source of info. (The forum was a generic appliance forum, not manufacturer sponsored.) Joining a mailing list for a few days is nothing but a pain. I know its not that hard, but it takes a bunch of small user interactions to go through all the steps of subscribe, filter, post, respond to thread, unsubscribe, kill no longer needed filter.
