Well not exactly ...

I've used usenet myself, and I understand why you like it so 
much, however we have to be realists. Many ISP's have dropped 
usenet services completely, and most of the newer generation have 
no idea what a newsreader is. This is unfortunate, but that's the 
way it is. The custom web front end to usenet is clunky and looks 
primitive compared to what users expect to see these days, again 
that's just the way it is. That last thing you should be doing is 
isolating yourself from the new generation of programmers, those 
are the people who will make or break D.

Maybe a full featured modern BB can be used, with a mod to sync 
up with usenet?
