Yes, or at least working with a news provider that allows you to add 
newsgroups--though in the latter case you've got to deal with a wider 
audience.

I think what the other poster was recommending was using newsgroups 
*instead* of a web forum. Otherwise, once you've got the newsgroup 
running you still need to create the Usenet-Web gateway software. 
We've done it, but it required programming (I don't know if there are 
any off-the-shelf solutions for Usenet-Web gateways).

The more restrictions there are, the poorer the people become. The 
greater the government¹s power, the more chaotic the nation would 
become. The more the ruler imposes laws and prohibitions on his 
people, the more frequently evil deeds would occur.
