Arguments against this by multiple people were also discussed in the thread Greg linked 
tldr: forums are superior, let’s keep stuff in forums. For instance, no way we’d be able to easily link to such past discussion if it was on whatsapp!

But people who use the forum are the most likely to post on it. The opposite is therefore also true. For the purposes of meets such as this where everyone is spread out in different accommodations, it puts a huge amount of work on Ben’s plate to have to manage things. A specific WhatsApp thread would ease these issues. It doesn’t take anything away from the forum. I genuinely don’t understand the resistance to the idea.

I’ve had a similar whatsapp discussion, and find WhatsApp communities work well for the Alpine Club and my swimming group. Will take to committee

My opinion is that WA community is more convinient way to communicate
How on earth did we manage before the internet and mobiles.
The irony to this is that I can’t actually comment on that thread post. Anything that is General Chat, I can’t comment in.
