> IRC simply a different use case than a forum.

Except that newer products like Slack and email providers with their conversation view are conflating the two use cases.

Slack tries to implement features of a forum by allowing threaded conversations. Conversation view email removes the nested threads and makes the email thread look more like a chat as opposed to a forum discussion with multiple threads.
