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. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _# | Note: I won't see posts made from Google Groups |
