The old openSUSE web forum was linked to a private nntp server (Novell 
infraestructure). You could read or post on any of the two, and it would 
be seen on both. The forum software was vbulletin, if memory serves, 
with a custom made bridge to the nntp server (vBulletin USENET gateway, 
I see on saved old messages).

Then the forum was migrated to another software (vbulletin is not 
gratis), and then to discourse, I think. The gateway could not be 
migrated, but we believe it is feasible
