I think the most powerful part of plug-discuss is that it's a mailing list. 
It means I can reply without having to open a browser, I can search the 
archives while offline, I can participate via nntp using GMane...

Plus moving to a message board at this point would create a lot of work for 
the administrators of the site, and would lead to a rift in where the 
archives were stored, unless there is a lurker compatible script for a forum 
software...
