A real Forum for D

Hi folks,

I just wondered why there still is this uncomfortable and obviously outdated newsgroup software in use.

Perhaps it'd be more contemporary to have a 'real' browser-based forum to which everyone can register and post D-related questions&answers.

So, my recommendation would be to establish a forum based on phpBB or a similar framework software (btw, it's free and open source, so don't worry about possible
costs!) at forum.d-programming-language.org


To give D a further community 'push', I and a friend of mine really would like to set up all required things if wanted.

The reason I'm asking the newsgroup directly is to have the forum that can be reachedunder the official D internet URL, so that it won't be a 'third-party' driven one
or something like that.


Even if this idea should be a bit too 'large', please do fix the http interface for the D main newsgroup thread - it's not working for me and only gives back a
connection timeout.
