Alternatives to DBAM

[ciphergoth]

This is an example of a mailing list which is gatewayed back and forth to the Web, so you can both read and post without using email. Do people think it's a suitable alternative for other web-based forums? Because it's apparently straightforward to implement using Mailman, which I have running locally.

Hmm... Looks ok, although personally I don't care about the mail element. What I always think about these things is how easy is it to customise? It would be really nice if the web forum could have a "censoring mode" that blocks out words that censorware objects to. Or replaces them with <img src="fword.png" ...>. It would also be nice to integrate slightly with LJ - if you use the same name in both it could pick up your picture & links to you profile etc.

Plus it has to be customisable becuase the colour scheme at Kanga is violently ghastly.

I wish more people would use NNTP for high-traffic discussion lists.

Is there anyone who has a web browser but no newsreader?

Granted, most people don't know they have a newsreader, but you don't have to tell them...
