No, I didn't mean that.  But NNTP is not a forum.  Note that on other  
pages (notably forum.dlang.org), the "Forums" link goes to forum.dlang.org

I think the right solution is to create a new page for dlang.org that  
contains information about NNTP joins, add a link to that under the  
"Community" section labeled "News Groups", and make the "Forums" link go  
to forum.dlang.org
