Every now and then I'm reminded of what could have been when someone submitted a patch to Dreamwidth (probably easily ported to Livejournal) that provided a bi-directional NNTP gateway that allowed posting. The Dreamwidth devs quite reasonably ended up regretfully rejecting it because there was no-one in the dev community who could maintain it, but sometimes when I'm reading through a community that generates 5000 messages a day I'm reminded that I could have had real kill files and proper tracking of new messages. Even close to 30 years later I haven't found anything as efficient for forums & such as a good newsreader was for netnews.

The D Language forum is a web forum/NNTP client/mail archive/irc bot/rss feed. You don't have to make an account to post. A friend of mine pointed out many years ago that it was basically the peak form of multi-protocol communications. If someone could implement convenient encryption it would be magic.

The most productive workplace forum I have used was based on NNTP. So much better than "improvements" like Slack and Discourse. But then I considered it was really just a shared email. Would email with shared folders not achieve the same?
