What exactly do you mean by "a web application" (or rather "a *web* 
application")?

As used by most people, "the web" is that which was (more or less) 
invented by (now Sir) Tim Berners-Lee, and involves "pages" designed in 
HTML, and transferred by HTTP. Newsgroups require none of that.

I grant that some people these days use "the web" and "the internet" 
interchangeably; Sunny was being more precise.

Which Sunny (and most of the rest of us) is/are not using.

Newsgroups do not post, people do.

I don't think most of us are the slightest bit interested in those 
"areas" (or forums sorry FORUMs), whatever (and wherever) they are.

You can say "end" as much as you like.
