I used to use NNTP for Lugnet, and for several other groups as well, but I gave
up using it for Lugnet long ago (soon after the auth emails were implemented I
believe) and over the last couple of years, all the groups I used it for have
moved to other technology, so my newsreader now sits totally idle.
There are still many groups using it however, and as Jacab says, it still does
have some advantages over other technologies. Just not enough for me to keep
using it.
