There is an exciting new feature for our Site Supporters!

Christian Forums introduces our NNTP News Gateway into selected USENET Christian Newsgroups!

What is USENET?
A worldwide bulletin board system that can be accessed through the Internet or through many online services. The USENET contains more than 14,000 forums, called newsgroups, which cover every imaginable interest group. USENET postings are distributed around the world using the NNTP protocol.

We now have forums that import and export posts to USENET automatically. We currently list 5 popular Christian USENET newsgroups as listed below:

USENET Christian Newsgroups

Site Supporters.

Only Site Supporters can read, post and reply to the USENET posts in these forums.

We have chosen newsgroups that are moderated externally by volunteers who run these newsgroups - these moderators are NOT part of Christian Forums. As a result, some posts in these forums may appear to break some of our Christian Forums rules. This cannot be helped as we have no moderating control over these newsgroups. The good news is that these newsgroups are moderated - some of the alt. Christian newsgroups are not moderated at all, and have really offensive content. These will not be imported here.

You use the USENET newsgroup forums just like any other CF forums - you read, post, reply, search and basically use it like you would any other forum.

Just a few pointers:
1) You cannot use vBCode or any other forum code, or HTML.
2) Your signature will not show up in it.
3) You should be reminded always that if you post in a newsgroup, your post will show up on NNTP servers mirrored around the world, not just here.

Enjoy our USENET gateway! :)

Mmm... actually, you raise a good point... I think it automatically does that. I may have to test it out...
I wonder what happens if the person responds, if they get an email like normal, or not :)
It would be a nice feature if CF at least inserted .NOSPAM in the email address to keep the spiders from grabbing it
