Feedback from internet newsgroups such as Wellington-based Geekzone

I suppose its better than not being mentioned at all :-)

From a stuff article that will disappear very soon (as they all do)

Once again shows the competance of Stuff. But we all know Geekzone is much bigger than Stuff. So really Stuff should be the ones who are happy at getting a mention on GZ

I don't want to go there... But newsgroups are much older than the web itself. older than the things people call, erroneously, "Internet".

And of course an on-line forum is not a newsgroup by definition, but seeing that there are topics with discussions/replies, hmmm... Ok, newsgroup, not in the correct sense, but hey...

What's interesting is that people here link to Stuff, but Stuff don't do the courtesy back. This leads to the next thought. Is this the MSM afraid of on-line unregulated media?
