What I like is to have an email forum for the discussion portion, and
a wiki for the information that you want to keep.

Web forums are ok if you only belong to a couple, but start to get
tiring when the number approaches say 100. I can easily deal with 100
email based forums because its easy to setup rules. Polling a large
number of web forums is a drag.

If you want searchability in a Yahoo forum, then you should consider
using gmail (I can search through all of the email lists I belong to
quite effectively), or use a tool like:

(not sure if this still works with the recent Yahoo shuffle, but it
will probably be updated soon if it doesn't work).
