Yes, I do love email, and you should feel comfortable continuing to use this mailing list, with the understanding that you should not rely solely on this list to receive fun, timely and sometimes important Funtoo Linux updates.
While email is more natural to me, there are advantages to using twitter, in that it is fully open to the public for reading and also interaction.
Also note that
www.funtoo.org has a new News system, and you can see the most recent news item on the main page, and you can click for more news. Often, we will be creating News items, and then tweeting about said news items to inform you of what's going on.
The forums are going to be geared more for developing an online social community around Funtoo. I am planning to soon switch to a darker, cooler theme to give the forums a nice feel, especially for late night conversations, and I know many of us are up late doing our geek thing. At night, I personally appreciate a dark theme, and I actually quite like dark themes even during the day.
