Sorry to interrupt the "please copy" discussion, but...

I wonder what everyone thinks about transitioning this 1980s-style email list over to a modern web-based forum format such as vBulletin?

Advantages:
-Real-time posting, so that someone's question doesn't get 15 almost identical replies caused by the multi-hour delay from the time a post is made until it is approved for distribution -An easier way to follow a topic, seeing all previous, relevant posts on the topic in a logical sequence
-An easier way to follow a topic, as each subject is in its own thread
-Easy access to archives and search
-Ability to easily skip threads/posts that don't interest you.

With all the tech-savvy people that participate here, I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed before, or has it? The 3830scores web site was a great improvement over the earlier 3830 list. Why not the same for cq-contest - your thoughts?
