I was on several mailing lists that I would occasionally answer questions on when something popped up that I could help with. Most of these moved over to forums over time. I have no interest in popping in to a bunch of different forums everyday to answer questions. I still pop in when I have a question myself but I find the chance of getting a helpful answer has reduced.
