Instant Messengers V Internet forums

Hey folks
I was just wondering whether people preferred Instant messengers or internet forums. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I prefer forums because:
a)you can talk to anyone, instead of only people on your contact list
b)unlimited participants
c)have better discussions, 'cos on IM you tend to talk rubbish and run out of things to say after 5 mins

mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
I also thought it was an odd comparison. Anyway, I chose forums, for obvious reasons.
I don't much like IMs. I just don't see the point.
I'm not much interested in stream-of-conciousness chatter.
Like email's too slow?

In other news:

What do you prefer, post-it notes attached to refrigerator or old classic letters?

Nevermind ass-kissing, but you could look at the bottom of this page sometimes...

It's funny how a bunch of people whom join this board think Google owns it or created it. If you think about it logically, why would Google use a PHPBB board when they have Google Groups?
