How about an "announcements" mailing list?
Rather than making people sign up for the message board and return to it from time to time to see how things are going?
We have one. Freeorion-announce. It's a sourceforge mailing list, I think there are links off our main site.
We only use it for major announcements, though. We don't 'make' people do anything.

Surprise and Terror! I am greeted by the smooth and hostile face of our old enemy, the Hootmans! No... the Huge-glands, no, I remember, the Hunams!
We do give that sort of update on our website, http://www.freeorion.org, and we also use the mailing list for that. We haven't made an announcement in a few months, because the next announcement is v0.1, and I am currently trying to get a line on when that might be.

Oops - sorry - I didn't know about http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/list ... n-announce because I arrived directly at http://www.artclusta.com/bb/ rather than via http://www.freeorion.org/
I've just signed up for the mailing list and will get out of your hair - unless that is you start commenting on my feature suggestions!
