Read h2g2 in your inbox, thick client for messageboards
The feeds aren't there just yet, and I think this needs more of a web service than a feed. 3rd party web app, scrapes DNA or sends in web service call, gets back all the messages for threads your subscribed to and mails them to you. They arrive in your inbox as normal emails. Full searching/filtering/rules system whatever you use can be brought to bear. The reply to field is straight back to the app that can then just submit stuff into DNA as a normal post.
Why this way? Better organisation and search/filtering tools than on web. Plus you can continue to chat without looking like your messing about on the web. RSS readers dont yet have as rich functionality that mail clients have.
Email on the brain... speaking of which perhaps an email gateway to nethack. Now that would rock.
