Because usenet forums lack the basic community-oriented features that 
internet users have come to appreciate. Web forums support features such as 
user profiles (pics/avatars, personal galleries, links to other on-line 
communities), karma/favorite/quality systems, community IM/chat, user 
hierarchies, user monitoring, sticky posts, polls, tags etc. The ability to 
post in BBcode is a plus too.
