Its possible to import wow models into warcraft 3, but I think blizzard said that it is illegal to do so. If you really want to know, though, use google.

First of all, its not illegal. As long as your not redistributing the models as forgery (claiming them as your own work), and your not using them for commercial use, it is perfectly legitimate to import wow models/icons into your WC3 map.
I had a discussion about this just a couple of days ago with a Blizz employee over on the battle.net forums.
As far as "how" to import them, first of all you need to find extracted/converted models. They are all over the internet, you just need to look. Your first stop should be google. The person who extracted them and converted from WOW should also post instructions on how to import them into your map.
Pretty simple, actually.
Just make sure you give credit for the models where credit is due.
Also, remember that WoW models are generally large in size, typically 4-5 times bigger than WC3 models, so if you use too many, your map will hit several megabytes before you know it.
I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
