I for one hope that will never happen.

My experience is the opposite, nothing beats mailing list.

I don't see that, plain text with monospace font is better.

I find forum hard to use, all people top post so you don't know what they are 
replaying to (I know, a lot of people do that here also).
Threading doesn't work properly, technical and because people don't replay to a 
post, but to the thread.
On a forum you need to create yet another account.
