That's not the case for any forums I've been a member of. All without exception 
have the ability to email you when something in a subject your interested 
in changes. You can set a setting in your preferences so that if you contribute 
you will always be told of new contributions. And even if you don't post
you can still mark anything your interested in as being "watched" so that
you get emails when something changed.
 
Maybe you've you used some quite old forum engines ? I've not seen anything
that didn't inform you in at least 6 or 7 years.
