I see your point, but couldn't you say the same thing about any forum?

"What happens when the forum shuts down? All threads discussing issues gone forever"

If you host a forum, you can easily access the database to move threads into some kind of archive if you no longer want to host it. It could also be moved to another server. Stuff like that.

Using a proprietary service instead is just a bad idea.

The web is on archive at least

Nope - cached/archived versions will continue to exist
