You never heard of a forum that sends new posts to you via email?

I prefer forums where I can subscribe to the forum topics that interest 
me, and see only posts for those topics - yes, in my email.

Then each message from the forum should have links to the CENTRALIZED 
FAQs (I understand there are a lot of different forums/faq's out there).

That said, I seem to be in the minority in preferring forums for supprt 
related things like this - especially high volume stuff - so I'll just 
pipe down now...
