My personal preference are forums as technically most

Horrible navigation, often poor performance and yet another damn login
to remember. I try and aggregate my information, like multiple mailing
lists to the one account. Heck, I've even got working Fidonet BBSs
exchanging mail on multiple nets, bringing more stuff together. Oh, and
the modern BBS platform had a few tricks that web forums don't, like
multi protocol access (web, telnet/SSH, NNTP, mailing list access to the
same information) - something for everyone. This flexibility of access
is something that is lost on web forum developers. :( At least with
mailing lists, I can choose to access my email using Thunderbird, Mutt
or Gmail's web interface (using IMAP allows me to switch clients
routinely). Web forums are an annoying one size (doesn't) fits all
proposition that work poorly for me.
For some reason, hams are locked on mail lists which is also quite
outdated media for exchanging knowledge purpose.
They still serve a purpose.
