I've been having this argument with my team captain for the past 2 years, our team is a maximum of 10 people a couple of which actually work, I do not see the reason of wasting time and resources on coding interfaces with a database so that 5 people can post messages. Is it not more direct to just instant message a person, those get my attention faster than a forum on my website.

By the way its not a distraction, on other sites i have actually designed the page around some really cool text inputs I designed. I like the way they look.

I've been ripping on you guys a bit, feel free to rip my site to shreds if you'd like. http://www.wolvcatrobotics.com
I understand your point for a team as small as 10 members where it could be easy enough to keep track of contact info for those 10 people, but we have about 50 people from our school. It's much easier with those large numbers to use a forum for mass communication.
