Other mailing list solutions exist. This is known, and beside the point. As
Karl mentioned here

http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/ea62a629b6c8200d

the move to a forum was in the works for years, not so much because of the
particular provider we had, but because so many more people, especially new
users, could benefit so much more from a forum.

I just responded on a similar thread and went through some of the advantages
I see in a forum:

http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/5c1f435be0e3aeab

I don't mean to start a debate. Each is a different model with different
tools and technologies, and each has pros and cons. I was simply responding
to a request to detail some advantages we/I see in a web forum over a
mailing list.
