Yes. Web fora generally suck.
A sweeping generalisation there Dave. A have a couple i regularly visit
and i find them both useful and often engaging. Depends on the moderators,
people and general "Culture". Perhaps.
I'm not a big forum denizen (too many disconnected places to
keep up with) so I rarely see help requests posted to them.
This is my problem with fora in general. I prefer E-mail, the original
"push medium." Many forums will send out an email to let
you know of a posting in a forum you are subscribed to.
...which is what makes them even approach "usable" for me. :)
