Wouldn't that be a kinda down-grade? (I mean the non-threaded part.)

Please, no. This would split the community into newsgroup-readers and 
forum-readers. Which would not be good.

A better interface to the newsgroup would be good though.

And the C++ community is splittet into million different groups of readers, as
there are so many forums. How bad is that?

C++ isn't a new language whose features still haven't been set in stone. 
  At this stage of its life I think separate groups would be pretty bad 
for the language/community.

You can use any newsreader you want.  Just find one you like.

The only thing I might eventually suggest is a developer mailing list in 
addition to this site.  But that doesn't need to happen until the 
popularity of the languages becomes such that this newsgroup becomes 
more commonly used for other things, like newbie questions.

Doesn't seem to happen to me (using mozilla), all messages (even yours) 
appear in correct categorical order.  However I keep all the messages 
ever sent (except the cancelled ones of course) on my hard drive.

It's the References field that is part of the message header.

I think that might be your newsreader.
I use OE at the moment, and the reply posts

This newsgroup will probably split into a couple of categories. But the
mailing list idea is not too workable these days - mailing list operators
frequently get incorrectly blacklisted as spammers.

This newsgroup is looks and feels simialar to forums I've used in the 
past so, why do we need it, if we use something that works and is close 
enough.
