I have to admit, when I was a new user, I much preferred the Forums over mailing lists/IRC, mainly (I think) because of the pretty colours. As time goes on however, I find myself on the forums less and less, and taking part in mailing list discussions more and more. (I also seem to end up on IRC most nights).
I think the ideal solution is the one others have mentioned, have it like ubuntu-users, primarily mailing list, pretty web interface for those that want/need it. Freddie :) -- Yesterday it worked.
