I did not check to see if they have hi-jacked the whole newsgroup as
their "own" forum - my bet is yes.

forum4designers.com is fairly well-known around here. They provide a web
interface to select usenet newsgroups, though they don't really
advertise that fact very well.

Several months ago there was a rash of posters from there. All were
pretty much told to get a real newsreader and come back when they had a
clue. ;)

It gets worse. Now they're making keywords in posts *links* to whoever
they've cut deals with. Use the word "spam" in your post, for instance,
and on their web interface it will be a link to some website they've
chosen.
