Similar thing happened when highend3d decided to kill their mailing lists, I setup a google group for maya, been plain sailing ever since.
Biggest difference is the primary intent; google groups is a mailing list first, with a nice web interface for posting and searching if you're that way inclined. Because the main way to interact with the list is inherently limited and minimal (ie, you send an email), any email you get back in return is clean and minimal. All the forum platforms I've seen are forums first, pushing web 2.0 social media agendas. Profile pics! Friends! Likes! Hashtags! It's fiddly and clicky even within the web interface. Mapping that onto email gets messy quickly.
