I have no part in any decision being made, but citing a phpbb forum as a
reason for switching to a their own style is a bit like a pharmaceutical
firm funding all the major studies supporting its drugs. There is a
substantial component of "confirmation bias." One can always find
something to support one's own opinion:

will certainly find out what happens.

Maybe it is good to read the topic 'advantages over list-serv' (dating
from 2007) on the phpBB communities forum:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=600139
I full agree with the final remark
"For low-traffic groups where everyone is interested in what everyone
else has to say, a listserv is fine. But for more active and diverse
communities a board (phpbb or otherwise) is a far better solution than
a mailing list"
