Newsgroups are a decentralized system that relies on the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) for communication, allowing users to post and read messages across various servers. In contrast, web-based forums are centralized platforms that typically require users to register on a specific website to participate. Newsgroups often have a more technical setup and can be accessed through dedicated newsreader software, while web-based forums are more user-friendly and accessible through standard Web Browsers. Additionally, newsgroups generally focus on text-based discussions, while web forums may incorporate multimedia content like images and videos.
