I know there are plenty of people who still use NNTP (I certainly hadn't realized how popular it remained among our community since it didn't seem to work so well for me). But yes, we won't be able to support NNTP right now. That said, most email clients today support threading of messages which means that you can have pretty much the same experience as what you were getting before. To me, not having to launch another client to track the forums is a pretty significant win (since my email client doesn't support NNTP).
I realize I won't be able to convince the diehards of the benefits of the overall change, but I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that this change is going to benefit the majority of the Flex community.

Well, I guess I'll be using the forums exactly once...to explain to the people who have gotten help from me in the past why they are not going to be able to get it from me in the future. Kind of a shame, but possibly the power users that are happier doing things by e.mail will be able to replace the ones that have traditionally used nntp. -Amy
