What type of style would everyone prefer? Rolling or point buy? And if rolling, would you prefer 4D6 and discard the lowest, 4D6, or 3D6? I'm asking because I might be able to GM if there's enough interest. I'm still relatively new to GMing having only done it for about 3 months now, and it would also be my first time doing it on a forum instead of in person; but I'd be willing to give it a try if the party were the right size (I'd say a 4 person party is a nice number).

Personally, I like rolling for stats.  When I run, I use the usual 4d6, re-roll 1s, take the best 3.  It gives the players reasonably decent stats without breaking past 18 (before racial modifiers).

Forum based is a tad different than usual, although Pathfinder usually works out alright compared to other systems.  If there's no dice roller on these forums (I haven't been around long enough to tell), then it would be wise to find an online one to verify rolls.  I used to use Invisible Castle years ago, but it seems that they're not around anymore?  I can't tell.
