I like the idea of switching from a mailing list to phpBB.  There are
many great features of bulletin boards:
  * user icons
  * getting email notifications for some threads and not others
  * sticky topics and announcements
  * easy to moderate if necessary
  * syntax highlighting for code snippets
  * uniform interface for html links in messages
  * ability to upload screenshots and include in messages

Apart from the features, I think nowadays people are more comfortable
joining a forum than subscribing to a mailing list.
