Well maybe, but posting to them is slow and awkward, and ties up some poor
person doing the moderation. It is only of course on one server so if you
cannot get to that you cannot read it. There should be no issue with spam on
usenet as simple filters can just zap it pretty fast.
also of course many people put their graphics on dropbox or similar and
post a public link. Birian

I just wish forum software was alll the same interface wise. That would
go a great way to making them easy to use. I simply do not understand
the point of wbeb forums for subjects where the primary use is textual.

Most forums are moderated in some way. Not to censure what is said, but to
stop the OT stuff etc that is killing newsgroups. And the ability to add
pics etc is pretty useful for most.
