I think all the discussion has moved to various band-specific message
boards, for the most part. This is the only group on Usenet that I've
ever been aware of (outside of the alt hierarchy, at least, and going
back to the early 90s when I started reading Usenet). It's too bad,
really - there used to be some fun discussion here back in the day.

And most of it not about Christian music.

There was plenty of tangential discussion, true. But there was a LOT of
discussion of actual music, too, as the (often quite embarassing) Google
archive shows. :-)

Um, yeah, maybe it's not so bad that this is a dying communications form.
My ISP (AT&T) is killing their nntp servers next month.

I saw that. Kind of a strange decision, I mean, how many resources can
Usenet POSSIBLY occupy, if the alt.groups and binary groups are excluded?

I read a statistic once stating that the binary groups alone
occupy 99% of /all/ usenet storage space.

vax and used trn to read these messages. what do you
mean dying? what could possibly replace usenet?

OK, first, "holy crap, it's Terry!" Terry, you should totally come
to Cornerstone next week. A decent bunch of former RMC (ir)regulars
will be there.
Now that that's out of the way...
I'm SSHing instead of dialing in, but I'm still in a text terminal on
a campus mainframe using TRN (in RN mode) to read these messages, which
I'm editing in VI. And in all seriousness, I still think this is a
cooler way to communicate than message boards and twitter and whatnot.

Oh, and in reference to Terry's eminently cool .sig, the Crucified
are playing Cornerstone this year. :-)

i went to c-stone with my brother back in...'04? we went on our
motorcycles. i meant to go to the rmc bbq, but we were staying in
macomb and i ended up getting to the tent late and there were only
a few people there, so i just sort of stood around a bit and then
left.
i'd even brought a copy or two of _sham pearls for real swine_.
to be honest, i felt like an outsider at c-stone for the most part
that year.
it just didn't hold the interest and excitement for me it once did. i
saw a
few cool bands and bought some merch, but i left thinking it just
wasn't
the place for me anymore. plus woven hand canceled, and that was
the main show we cared about.

wow. i was just kidding. i'm on a dual-g4 power mac running os 10.5.
and using groups.google.com. although i still use terminal windows
and
vi all the time, as i'm a unix guy (both professionally and
personally).
twitter is interesting -- although i've never tweeted...i just have
followers:
my twitter burden is light. :)

oh. my. G-d. i completely did not know this. i'm dumbfounded. and
it's
wholly the original lineup. and t&n is releasing a boxset on june
30th of
their albums, included a remastered _pillars..._ album, the kgb demo,
video...*swoon*
i'm curious how their falling apart due to numerous issues and screw-
ups,
along with a lot of disdain for the xian market (well, by salomon at
least),
has affected their perspective on getting back together. it sounded
like
the crucified was a pretty sore spot overall and something they wanted
to
have buried.
perhaps time really does heal all wounds. or at least fog memories.
i can almost guarantee i am not going to c-stone this
year...but...this is
the freakin' third time i've missed a c-stone show since i started
going to
c-stone. i think i hit 91, 92, 94, 96?, 97, 98, 00, 04. and of
course the
crucified played their farewell show in '93, and the reunion show in
'95.
now this. i'm not sure how much more i can take.
