Is anyone out there?


I used to post here, once long ago, but had left mostly as the people here
kept being jerks...

decided to check back, and now the relevant groups have mostly died... how
odd...


So the coclusion is, the games.development newsgroups died, because you

decided to check back, and now the relevant groups have mostly died... how
odd...

but, then again, it seems as a sad thing that usenet in general is facing a
slow and gradual death...

The death of Usenet has been innacurately predicted since the days of
public web access, then the rise of web forums, then the rise of
p0rn/illegal file sharing via Usenet, etc, etc :)

According to Newsadmin.com Usenet posts continue to rise, roughly 65%
of all posts being text only, with Giganews showing over 100,000 new
posts a day, and the top 100 text groups ranging from 200-1000 unique
'views' per day.

100,000 posts a day, 99,000 of which are spam

I guess nobody writes but somebody still reads. Our development has
programmed us to do that, for miscellaneous reasons :-)

There are probably less 'new' users coming on to Usenet, particularly
with some large ISPs dropping hosting of their own Usenet servers, but
I would imagine Usenet will be around for quite some time until the
'old' users die off.
