The migration happened just a month or two ago. Are we talking about the same thing?
TBH, most discussion in the WISP space has moved to Facebook. The busy WISPA mailing lists used to get about 20k messages per year. When I last checked, they were down to 5k or so and on a downward trend. Meanwhile, the Facebook groups have exploded, both in members per group and the number of groups.

I used to read that, and ISP-Wireless prior, but after the migration it just
stopped working. After migration the content quality went down and the
pagination on a forum sucks.
The other major issue with a forum is it allows any admin to go in and edit
your message/post. Unless you've setup moderation on the mailing list, this
is generally not possible. The other advantage to a list is you can sign your
messages to prevent these sorts of shenanigans.
Simply put, if the option is there, it will be used.
