As many others have said this is a rotten idea. Especially if the use of the forum displaces the use of the list.
I signed up for the forum a long time back and I think that I used it once to check it out and don't think that I logged in more than three time. I just signed up again and thought, Oh! Now I remember, I signed up to the list before.
I doubt that the list will suffer any dramatic shift of posters from the list changing to the forum, but if I was a good predictor, I would be richer than I am today.
Oh! and I get to try to post using VB! What is it. <b>This is bold</b>
