I do give in and post on forums too, but only while grumbling
loudly to myself. I don't actually grumble to the people there
because they're sure to say that suggesting everyone switch to
Usenet is a bad idea. However here on Usenet I can state that I
think using web forums is a bad idea, for me at least, proven by
the fact that I spend  more time on Usenet even if it mainly seems
to be just reading/writing _about_ Usenet these days.

Anyway linking web forums to news servers is actually something I
asked about in news.software.nntp last month. Presumably you mean
where it's part of the forum configuration, but I'm interested in
scraping forums client-side and turning their posts into news
articles in a news spool, which could then be hosted over NNTP or
browsed directly in a news reader. From that discussion I gather
that this hasn't been done before. I'm not decided whether to write
the software for it myself or not. Keeping up with forum software
changes would make it an endless project.
