   The Ultimate Bulletin Board (`http://www.ultimatebb.com/') is
probably the most popular Web bulletin board system used.  It has a
quite regular and nice interface, and it's possible to get the
information Gnus needs to keep groups updated.

   The easiest way to get started with `nnultimate' is to say something
like the following in the group buffer:  `B nnultimate <RET>
http://www.tcj.com/messboard/ubbcgi/ <RET>'.  (Substitute the URL (not
including `Ultimate.cgi' or the like at the end) for a forum you're
interested in; there's quite a list of them on the Ultimate web site.)
Then subscribe to the groups you're interested in from the server
buffer, and read them from the group buffer.

   The following `nnultimate' variables can be altered:

`nnultimate-directory'
     The directory where `nnultimate' stores its files.  The default is
     `~/News/ultimate/'.
