My interest in this is because the people who use vbulletin.org or vbulletin.com are not representative of people in the wider world. Lots of those people can just about use an email client and email and a mod like this would be a stepping stone into online forums, to get them engaged with something better. Also, lots of people now use handhelds of one sort or another that are quite capable of dealing with email and SMS, even though browsing on them is much less of a positive experience than browsing from a netbook, laptop or desktop of some kind, especially if you are using mobile broadband, which is often slow meaning that pages load slowly even if you can send and receive emails. So the option to be able to contribute to an online discussion you are interested in wherever you are is still a way of keeping people engaged with you.
