The forum is a web interface to an existing newsgroup server that 
has been the backbone of D community discussions since the 
beginning. The web interface (I've always found the usage of 
"forum" in this case to raise false expectations) does not 
maintain the authoritative database. Any features that are added 
to the web interface need to take into consideration all of the 
users who access it via newsreaders and mail clients.
