I have a lot of trouble with the forum. Many times a msg will not post
as it sits in a cycle waiting for the nntp server to get the message

IMO there are much better forum software out there that would make it
easier to communicate about D than the current method.
http://www.mybb.com/ is free, pretty good, and relatively easy to setup.
The ability to edit a post makes life much easier too!
Here's another split thread?
My understanding is that the forum is something made out of an nntp news
server, and some people use a newsreader client instead of way us web
based forum folks go about it. Why use nntp for this forum?
It's the other way around - it's an NNTP server originally.
The web forum is a recent addition as no extra hassle way to start using
it. The hassle being installing newsreader & getting it to work properly
on all machines you may want to use.
In the end it opens the newsgroup to a wider audience I guess.
Once I got used to threading I'd hate to switch to the "stream of
messages" style that typical web forums produce.
