Mailing list like interface? Or how to follow all discussions?

[robby]

Hi,

Is it possible to follow all the discussions, new ones and replies, in the form of a mailing list?
For me it's easier to participate in topics by the use of my mail client than constantly using a web interface.

Kind Regards.

Personally I'm using new posts option (near Search on the controls bar)

There is a rumors that this engine support RSS - this is much stylish that mailing lists.

P.S. I like web forums much more than a mailing lists.

vBulletin Version 3.5.4 supports RSS. It isn't rumor :)

Well, I like it small and simple. Keeping any eye on all the posts is just to much work using a webinterface.
This is the main reason why I don't participate in discussions.

Setting up RSS is on the list. Until then, I've made the discussion board as fast and easy to use as possible:

~No avatars
~No ads
~No smilies
~Almost no graphics
~Clear paths to do whatever you want
~Very fast page loads

We also have a very high signal-to-noise ratio.

As far as I can tell, this is just about the fastest, easiest discussion board I've ever seen.

What about it isn't working well for you?

Barry,

first let me say that you're doing a really fantastic job running this site and that I appreciate all the efforts/time and probably also money you put in it!!

The reason why I participate in discussions on the fw1 mailing list of Check Point is because I just need to use my mail client to follow *all* discussions. When I see a threat I'm interested in I just reply using my mail client.

I don't like discussion boards because I've got to jump from one site to another to follow different discussion/view new discussions, login to make a reply, ....

If you're participating in multiple discussions on multiple discussion boards (on different sites) this is really taking a lot of time.

Why not dumping all posts on one big mailing list so that you only need to use a mail client to follow all discussions.

If the only thing I need to do is launching my mail client and just follow threats as they fall into my inbox I would *certainly* participate in this threats and share my humble technical opinion.

Just my 2cents.

Kind regards.
Robby
