NNTP Gateway for Usenet ( Newsgroups ), Mailing Lists
Working on an addition to MassCops... currently beta testing alt.law-enforcement
What is it?
This hack provides a gateway from vBulletin forums to the USENET. It allows forum members to read newsgroup messages as well as to send posts to the newsgroups. In a nutshell, it turns vBulletin forums into a basic function news reader.
For an added bonus, this package also supports mailing list archive and forum to mailing list gateway. The software retrieves messages from a pop3 account and import them into the forums threaded. It also allows a forums user to send messages to the mailing list by the forum posting interface.
Why?
The gateway will be appreciated by forum members who do not know how to set up a news reader, or people who do not have port 119 open in their network. A forum interface to read and post news are often considered to be better than a news reader.
The gateway adds more contents to your forums and allows the members to interact with wider audience. It is common to see new users signing up to use this feature.
