MST3K was one of the first shows widely recognised as having an online cult fan presence, and it's probably reasonable to assume (though not necessarily conclusively proven) that that fan base contributed to MST3K being given 3 more seasons on SciFi.  However, the newsgroup is just part of that fandom, and can't really take credit for the renewal.  Indeed, I notice the Mystery Science Theater 3000 article doesn't even mention the newsgroup except as a "see also".  So yeah, fails
