In the french-speaking community there is two big forums where users
come to get support for qgis, they are better referenced than our forum
on google so it is often their first stop. I'm sure that there must be
an equivalent place for english speakers, if so it would better to
redirect non-ML people to these forums rather than keeping our own with
a lower reply rate.

I think we have to be careful here, there are a lot of users out
there who don't use mailing lists as a general rule. Mailing lists
tend to be a bit more of a 'commitment' than forums, and I think we'd
be alienating a lot of users if we drop the forums completely... Is
there anyway to set it up so that forum questions are routed to the
mailing list, while still appearing to be within the forums for those
that prefer this? A new forum structure would probably be fine/nice,
but mailing lists tend to be quite 'developer-centric'... I prefer
mailing lists myself... But many of my students are 'afraid' or weary
of them...
On the other hand, the mailing list format works well for the R
project...
Just some thoughts to throw around before we completely abandon the
forums... And possibly some users...

+1 from your forum mod ;)
Anything that reduces complexity in our web infrastructure is a
plus. The forums attract a lot of spam (= work cleaning up) and I
feel like there's a much bigger audience following the mailing list
anyway.
Best wishes, Anita

mentioned that forum.qgis.org should be replaced. Why not simply
