Your message is well-intentioned, but I fear that users will continue to post to the forums instead of the mailing list, only now they will receive even fewer replies. Perhaps since all the forum postings were also sent to the mailing list, and since the mailing list has been archived in several outside locations (e.g. Gmane and MARC) we could just delete the forums from SF entirely and make an addition to the mingw web page/wiki that points users to these archives and explains the rationale.
