I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be accepted. I couldn't care less 
if people write markdown on the NG, even though I don't use the forum. 
It's still readable on thunderbird (which does do some markdown, but no 
code formatting).

For the record, vibed forums do have markdown:

And they are backed by NNTP (or maybe there's an NNTP interface? I'm not 
sure actually).
