Personally, I find web-based discussion groups a pain, and prefer either
email reflectors (mailing lists) or newsgroups.  With either of the
latter, there are readily-available tools (email clients and
newsreaders) that make it fairly easy to customize and automate the
reading environment to my own preferences.  With a web-based discussion
group, you're pretty much stuck with whatever limited customization that
the server-side discussion software provides.  Further, since reception
of email typically results in a local copy (or, in my case, a copy on
the local network) of the messages, I generally find that I can get
through a given number of email messages much faster than I get through
an equal number of messages on a web-based discussion board.  The local
message can be brought up on my screen much faster than if I have to
talk to a web server over the (much slower) DSL or dialup line.

I'd vote no.  The reflector isn't broken, don't fix it.
