For anyone else that uses the nntp bridge to pull in the forum threads, the web service that it relies on in the Technet backend has had to be turned off.
If you follow the reportabug forums in the Technet forums – http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/reportabug/threads you can keep up with what the issues are.
Alerts (I think) are not working as they needed to shut that off as well to get performance working.
The Answers 2.0 forum doesn’t support the nntp bridge (long story behind that one) http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/feedback/forum/feedback_other-na/update-microsoft-answers-20/987d280f-634c-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5 but hopefully we’ll see some effort to increase the efficiency of the forums going forward.
