What's your view on a web based forum? Usenet is virtually dead now, >although certain sites eg uklm, are still quite popular.

Web forums cost even more to run than Usenet groups, although they can, to a certain extent, offset that by carrying advertising. But the web seems to attract undesiriables far more than usenet does, these days. Moderating a
web forum is a much more intensive task than moderating a Usenet group.
