Actual text traffic has been slowly dying off for years as webforums have matured and become a better choice of technology for nontechnical end users on high speed Internet connections.
My view is that the move to web forums is a huge downgrade. Mailing lists are vastly superior.

The thing that mailing lists lack is a central directory of their existence. The discovery problem is a pretty big one.
Where is this to be found for webforums? I have never seen one. Or do you think Google is such a master index? Can you please pose your Google query that you think results in a comprehensive index of *all* webforums? Or is your comment nothing more that you noticing that NEITHER e-mail lists NOR webforums have a master index, which is a rather useless observation that would indicate that webforums have zero advantage over mailing lists in this regard, so what is the point of the whataboutism? -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
