@mattmcirvin In the specific case of Usenet, user interface was a big factor. Usenet, not to put too fine a point on it, is complicated, hard to use, and hard to parse. Forums, on the other hand, are simpler to use, and arrange posts in simple chronological order. Likewise, blogs, as well as sites like Slashdot, Fark, and Digg, were all much easier than Usenet for people to get to grips with.
