I prefer web forums mostly (I'm Jman, a moderator, on fedoraforum.org) but as you can see I also subscribe to the lists. FedoraForum has been independent since the beginning. Red Hat does not host it, FedoraForum is merely the first link under the web forums support category. As to the size of the community we built, as of right now there are 28,000 members and a couple hundred thousand posts, not counting the list archives. There's a volume problem with both support methods, but together we can handle the volume and give the user a choice for how they want to ask their question.
