Sorry if this question has been raised but is the reason for
the inability to edit posts?
Posts are not editable because once sent, they are relayed to
the NNTP server, mailing lists, and users' email inboxes.
Will be this feature implemented sometime?
Only when it becomes possible to edit a sent email.
Ok, why we use email/NNTP server instead of simple
database/file storage?
Do we use some free mail server, or we must support some old
infrastructure?
Yes, this forum was created explicitly to replace Web-News, an
NNTP newsreader. Initially all communication was done via NNTP
(Web-News or a desktop NNTP client) and mailing lists. The last
time I checked, only 50% of posters used forum.dlang.org,
others used NNTP or mailing lists.
Interestingly, they do it because they are accustomed, or they
have a handy desktop/mobile applications?
