With forums, you can view "posts since your last visit" easy and comfortable. Create topics in bold, italic, hyperlinks, images, etc... You can search easy a topic, and is url friendly......

I dont like web fora, they are harder to use than mailing lists and they 
collect lots of out of date information.

We have wiki's to provide all of the features that you mention, and in a 
wiki there is the potential for tidying up out of date information
