Yes, this is a problem I have with forums. You really need to be
continuously visiting the forum which I don't have the time or
inclination to do.

Some forum software sends you an email when someone has replied on a
thread you're interested in but that's about as far as it goes.

What would be cool would be forum software that also acted as a
mailing list. It shouldn't be too hard in principle - when a post is
made on the forum send the mailing list people an email and vice
versa.
