As for the rest, having a forum style frontend does not mean the end of 
email based system. There is no need to stop the list to add this at all 
(text only even as it is now). And it was done many times before. The only 
problem I see are the costs of running such a system. And creating links to 
be posted into the social web is then only a little jump, just be sure to 
redirect the responses to the system.

Create a clear tagging system and you are getting automatic sorting system 
for sub forums. And as I said all while keeping the list.

I do not see the problem, aside from someone doing it and the costs.

Oh yes, I do prefer email by far.
