it's an essential role of a forum that latecomers find the earlier questions/discussions, typically through a websearch. a forum's primary user-story is very much not that of a chat, i.e. a real-time, ephemeral, linear flow of text, sometimes with multiple overlapping discussions, and as such not very well processed by the search engine crawlers...
i think it all boils down to this:
mailing list archives (and IRC logs) are stuck in time. their underlying data model is inadequate for efficient indexing/searching, and often lack structure even to conveniently present the archive to the user.
