Consider this. I've been using web-based mail for years, so had no mail/newsgroup client installed. Why would I want to install one just for one little project? With a forum, I don't have to install anything. I've been using them for years, am quite used to them, and think the newsgroup interface is antiquated. I hated it even back in 1995 when it was all we had. Forums are in my comfort zone.
I always thought that here is a high percentage of Opera users. It may be the case that browsers with integrated news/mail reader make a higher percentage here than in the open. Likewise I never questioned the technology, although news.digitalmars.com is my only news groups as well. (Discounting mailing lists and RSS feeds from other sources.)
