As i've started participating in online bulliten boards more and more, I start to lament the passing of the usenet. Besides the fact that the display (newsreader) and the information (NNTP posts) were complete seperable, it also offered a simple way to search(via deja news at the time). I still rely on groups.google.com for many information quests, but it's slowly growing out of date as everyone switches to these web bulletin boards.

This is more of a rant/discussion topic than a question, but has anyone found a good solution? Just hope google found the BBS that has what you need?
