That's some of it. Another part is that NNTP just transmits the content, 
forums send a bunch of junk along with it.

The main part though is that NG's allow much richer clients. With a forum, 
no Internet connection right now == nothing at all. The client I use is just 
fine running off line. Also it will auto check for new post, download them, 
sort them, search them, go back and, in one fell swoop, get the last 65K 
posts.

I would be interested, but I expect a lot of what I would want wouldn't be 
obtainable from RSS (mostly thread stuff and what not). But I would like 
to see somthing and would give RSS a try.
