So NovaBBS is a UseNet that's separate from the "real" usenet and only accessible though a web browser?

No, it's Usenet. If I made it sound otherwise, sorry about that. NovaBBS simply provides a forum style interface to Usenet.
I'm posting using a web interface right now.

NovaBBS would be great if it carried more niewsgroups. Maybe they should surveil which newsgroups are the most active and add those.

That's been done a few times by myself, but there are a lot of newsgroups. At this point I pretty much just rely on requests, or if I happen upon a group that is a good candidate (somewhat active, somewhat useful).
Could you give any recommendations on active groups? I have about 30 of
which let's say 10 are meaningfully active, but always on the lookout for more. =)
