I use Usenet with Eternal September, and a NNTP client software I wrote by myself. I also have my own NNTP server for discussions of my own projects, although currently nobody else uses it than myself. (Both my own server software and client software support 63-bit article numbers.) I think that NNTP is better than much of the newer too complicated and messy protocols. I also think is better than using mailing lists, too. NNTP also you can (like mailing lists, but unlike web forums) compose drafts on your computer and read messages that have already been downloaded, even if the internet connection (or the NNTP server) is currently not working, and then you can send/receive once it does work.
