I'm looking at the URL in my browser, and it's using 
http://forum.dlang.org.

Sorry but I don't love it. I can't edit posts, it frequently 
hangs when refreshing, hangs when posting, and it breaks up 
threads frequently (like this one), which is rather unpleasant if 
you're trying to follow a lengthy conversation.

My guess is that the people using a newsreader are OK, but a ton 
of people prefer to use web browsers, I would hazard a guess that 
most people who use the Internet don't even know what a 
newsreader is.

Someone really needs to take a look at what's going wrong and try 
to fix it, and if it cannot be fixed, than I would say an 
alternative should be seriously considered.
