Exactly my thoughts, it can be a pain sometimes sifting through conversations in the mailing list, the forum will be an upgrade.

I agree with Brian. Changes are hard, but in the end, it will be better and more organized. 👍

It does let you set it up to be just like a mailing list, I understand everyone's aversion to change, It's going to happen, and it will allow everyone to receive help faster.

Perhaps the new forum could function in a similar way to the mailing list? If you could receive responses via email and respond via email, then it would be the best of both worlds. I know most ticketing systems these days provide this functionality, the same is possible on a forum.

I don't know how many +1s you've had so far, but this is another one.

I think Alex has expressed extremely well why forums are not as effective as
lists.

I would also simply add that I am on quite a number of mailing lists, and it's
very convenient to deal with them all in one email client.  If each one were
replaced by a forum, I would need multiple logged-in windows in a browser, and
have to actively switch back and forth between them to see if there were new
messages.  This is the biggest thing for me which makes forums highly
unproductive.
