I feel like someone could make a buck or two by offering a mail2forum gateway. That way, you can appease all the people complaining about how they want a phpbb-style forum (yes, I know phpbb was not first), and you can appease all the people that want to use email. Except, every time I have worked on this sort of tool, or seen others working on it, the community totally ignored it and didn't use the forum side at all.. oops. I wish there was a legitimately good version of Google Groups out there. At this point, I can't decide which interface (Yahoo Groups versus Google Groups) is worse. It's like trying to decide between SourceForge and LaunchPad... yeah right.
