As I said before, I think a forum is good for making the community more 
alive and more open, also for newbies. Also it good be a possibility to 
make things more central in combination with linuxaudio.org.

Why not put a link on the linuxaudio.org site to the forum and 
eventually change the name of the forum if the moderator can agree with 
the suggestion? Or maybe it is possible to change the forum to 
linuxaudio.org (I'm a noob on this area...).
      
I back that: a forum is nice in many cases, you can have pictures,
    

How cute! Can we have a picture of you up there, too? ;-)

a powerful search-function etc.
    

There already is one: Google.
Many mailing lists are not well represented on Google.
  
PLUS: the site in question is indeed a forum only so it can serve a a
forum-module for the 2 other sites.
    

Forums suck. :-P
Forums are preferred by some and certainly there is room for all opinions. I use forums to search my own user name and solve problems I had a year ago.
They can be quite handy, but of course no one is suggesting that those who prefer mailing lists should stop using them.

Respectfully,
