Funny, I expect to ask questions at IRC and search archives.
and I expect messages to be archived indefinitely, as a mailing list does
(I've seen many forums that don't, unless you mark "sticky"...)

Besides, the usabilty of those forums is very clunky compared to a decent
email client. And if you want a webpage for these things? Use gmail.

Now, if you like the subforums feature of forums, perhaps the conclusion
would be that we need more mailing lists. Atm, I doubt that. What would
be bad is to start a forum with the same scope next to an existing mailing
list, so we would have two places to search for the same thing.

Bye,
Kero.
