Oh, ****. I still hate it to search some hours to get a overview of all 
disscussed subjects inside Wikipeda with this stupid Discussion/Talk pages.

Mails are coming full automaticly on my system at home, are sorted into 
IMAP Folders and the next new message is at keystroke distance (mostly 
''delete'' or 'Next Message''. An I don't have to wait for a webserver to 
serve a page. I bet pressing a key to get the next message from your local 
mailfolder is 1000 times faster than any BBS System.

Diskusstion don't have to be close to the content. A little bit of distance 
helps to write proper messages.

The rest Erik has still written enought about. BBS are no proper (fast) way 
to discuss. If you are subscribed to 20 Mailinglists, no problem to get 
this managed. 20 BBS meens 20 Browser tabs, a lot of traffic (reloads to 
check it somethings happend), instead the easy message drops of mailinglist.

I can say that I stopped every participation at projects switched to BBS 
(webbased).
