Moving away from google groups to forums?


I just read in the State of jQuery'09 powerpoint presentation from the
jQuery conference that the intention is to move off of google groups
and to forums. I'm wondering what the thinking is here, as I much
prefer Google Groups to any forums I've seen before. They offer a
much more immediate response then most forums do, and it keeps things
together with other google groups I'm also a member of. One less
thing to bookmark and remember how to get to. How about at least
keeping the Google Group and adding forums?
