[CUBE] lists?

admin, maintenance, bandwidth costs of nntp services vs discussion 
board sw.

that's just a partial guess.

the real reason, i would think, is that the average user has no idea 
what the hell nntp is, how to access it (what client?) how to connect, 
and interact with it, etc.. you and I would probably love nntp, but 
perhaps that's because we're internet old-schoolers (speaking about 
myself).  on the other hand, everyone knows how to use a browser, and 
can find and use the discussion boards very simply.
