You'll have to take that up with the rejectedsoftware folks. It's their forum. 
The main D forums are set up to use newsgroups as their backend while allowing 
users to also interact via a web forum and e-mail, but AFAIK, they are unique 
in that regard. So, I wouldn't expect anyone else to be doing that unless they 
used the same software - which the rejectdsoftware folks could do, but it's up 
to them. On a related note, I believe that Vladimir was looking making the 
main D forums' software use vibe.d, but I don't know where he is with that.
