I'm of two minds on this.. I prefer forums due to their extra features
and neater more structured layout. Not to mention the amazing "search"
function (when people use them)
But mail lists are a much quicker "lighter" solution.
If we were to use a forum, it would have to be heavily policed and
many of the "multi media features" removed, other wise it'll just
become like any other forum... a massive waste of resources with
little chunks of useful information hidden inside.
Not to mention that forums require a much beefier infrastructure, and
that can be quite costly.
