Forums are a mixed bag. Some love them, some hate them.

I previously ran a forum for LedgerSMB.
It had some usage, but people mostly preferred the mailing lists.

I was also running an add-on by the forum author that allowed posting
incoming emails to boards. I never setup an outgoing to the mailing
list. I wanted to. No time.

However, reading and searching emails from a mailing list in a forum is
*nice*. Really nice. You can see the entire thread at once.

If any mailing list I'm part of wants to do a read-only posting of email
only messages like that, I would put up a forum for that only, for free.

I would only make something like that public if the mailing list owners
wanted it done.

As far as 2FA over a phone, I hate it.
When traveling, my phone only works in USA, Canada and Mexico.
If I were in Guatemala, I'd have no access to my DNS server company.
Ugh!
