I'm not a forum person, either. Don't even like them for issue-trackers.
It's probably age, but I like to have a single stream of items arriving,
preferably with enough information in the header/subject that I can go:
delete, delete, delete, read, delete, ..... Email works fine.

If I can't get an email stream from something, I try for an RSS feed, and
have an RSS reader running (one tab in a browser, app on my スマホ)
which I can check a few times a day.
