Call me an inertial developer, but forums are an arcane place to
discussion programming languages... unlike mailing lists :o)

Saying that,there's an amazing depth of information on forums, for
example (taken from coding horror):

- A 12 year old girl who finds a forum community of rabid enthusiasts
willing to help her rebuild a Fiero from scratch? Check.
- The most obsessive breakdown of Lego collectible minifig kits you'll
find anywhere on the Internet? Check.
- Some of the most practical information on stunt kiting in the world? Check.
- The only place I could find with scarily powerful squirt gun
instructions and advice? Check.
- The underlying research for a New Yorker article outing a potential
serial marathon cheater? Check.
