Having just fought for that as a solution for an organization
switching from nntp -> web forums... I don't think there's that much
popular interest from places that aren't heavily geek populated.
A big problem is that people buy webhosting, not machine hosting so
most people won't have the rights to run nntp so even if people have
the motivation, they are usually restricted. Too much of the internet
is being reinvented to run over port 80.
