Initially, (1994?) Nomic World was a MUD, before MUDs started getting
called MOOs. Synchronous communication was difficult with players from lots
of different time zones, and voting was done with some persistent game
objects. A lot of serious discussion actually happened by e-mail because

Once you've got it working, it's really easy to put it in the rules

Using a mailing list over a forum is the same type of argument add using

To add to this, if Agora were to be born today instead of a mailing list,
in what format would it be? A subreddit? A Discord server? I feel like
people nowadays wouldn't consider making a new nomic as a mailing list
because of how obscure it is, which adds to my feeling that Agora should
