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...
