Theus! You are very wrong on phpbb, while comparing it to vbulletin is
like comparing apples to mangoes, it is not a fact that vb is that
much superior. While you can get huge forums on vb, there are also
similarly huge phpbb forums, like joomla and ubuntu forums.

Onto the topic today, forums and lists are very much different. In
forums, you need people to get there, log in and contribute. In lists,
they already are cause the stuff gets to their inbox. My suggestion
would remain a hybrid solution similar to what i tried here. Archive
posts from the list in a forum, and have replies in the forum sent to
the lists. That way, nothing changes and people can choose whether to
log in and contribute in the forum, or use the reply function.
Phpbb has a component called mail2forum to handle this, and wp has
postie. Joomla also has something and im sure with such a talented
pool of developers, you can develop this functionality on anything.
