I hope not.
Actually, even if ilugbom (bom? shouldn't that be mum?) got any web-based forum, I wouldn't bother with it.

phpBB eh? Not for the time being. I was looking for something in Zope, but am not satisfied with fcForum.

How about Simple Machines Forum? or vBulletin? They are very good.

Both of them are non free. But do we really need a forum software?

more suggestions, also means more work.
adding bulletin board support is very easy in the current site. Add a relation 'Comments' add one to many relations with comment object, for which you need to add an objectType 'comments'.
Similarly add members, and make relations, and also apply voting. If you have datamodel any application can now be developed on top of this.
Earlier you were planning to bring in the mailman archives in the gnowledge base, you can now get them in the data, so it really becomes a bulletin board doubling up as a mailing list.
also try to get the data from registered volunteers into the current database and can integrate both.

SMF is free. That is you need not pay for it. But its not under the GNU GPL. Same goes with vBulletin. We can develop our own forum or use a modded phpBB forum. But thats upto the site admins. IMHO a forum is easier, more organized way of communicating but it puts more pressure on the server(bandwidth, CPU cycles, space etc...). A mailing list on the other hand shifts all that work onto the clients which I dont like...

I don't like forums. Forums force me to go to a website and use a clunky web interface to enter anything. I prefer email where I can use a client of my choice.

So do KMail and Gmail.
Kmail does. Gmail doesn't. Gmail tries to guess threads based on message contents rather than relying strictly on the In-Reply-To: MIME header. As a result, Gmail groups messages with the same subject into a thread even though they are not from the same thread.

Yes, I have noticed that. Any idea why they would have implemented like that. Just because it is easier to do it?

Unfortunately, I am stuck with Hotmail's web based email service which needless to say doesnt support threads...

Er, this would be your fault. No one is "stuck" with hotmail.
