Compuserve has been POV-Ray's home since its beginning.  I think
the long time members feel more at home there, and are used to
the mode of operations available to them there.  There are some
features of Compuserve that don't exist to my knowledge on the
internet which are useful to the team.

You may be right that the majority of networked programming and
raytracing is currently on the internet, but when POV started,
Compuserve had more users than the internet.
