Whether a usenet newsgroup is moderated or not it is technically still a
usenet newsgroup. The main difference between forum and usenet is where
the data lives and the protocols involved. The issue is somewhat clouded
because of web-to-usenet gateways, that give a forum like appearance,
that however doesn't change what it is.
