The news server is:

200 news.povray.org DNEWS Version  5.7b1,, S0, posting OK

(Taken from the header when telnetting to port 119).

The web interface, I believe, was custom created, but there are several 
good packages out there.  If web forums are of interest to you, check out 
vBulletin.  It's not free, but it is pretty good (and there's an NNTP 
gateway, so you can connect to it using a news client if you like).
