I agree completely with your points 1-3.
4. There seems to be no history of what i have read. How to get a
grip of what i have missed while beeing offline?
Many (most?) forums have the ability to show which posts are read when
you are a registered member and have logged in - an extra, manual,
process for each forum.
What i have seen lets me think that webforums maybe a good thing for
direct customer support(those systems tend to have a low post count
per thread with just a few participants; simple question + answer
stuff) but for the peer to peer character that's most newsgroups have
(at least the ones i read) they fail.
I wouldn't say that they fail, they just work differently than News.
They tend to be a bit more like Chat than News.
http://news.lugnet.com or news://news.lugnet.com (Lego discussions) is
an example of a combined forum/nntp server that (IMO) works quite well
in both aspects, although it is still much easier to read it by nntp
than by the web.
