What happened here? There seems to be no economics discussion at all.

Long run trend: I think a lot of people abandoned USENET for web-based
boards. A pity IMHO, since the web-based things are scattered all over the
place.

I did likewise for a while but found no place that I felt was non
partisan. I am most certainly partisan and do not find anything at all
that the Republican party has ever done that is worth spit (possible
exception being Eisenhower). Nonetheless I want to debate in a place
where the actual server is not limited to "right" or "left" or to Marxian
or neoclassical. Most good debates are between those who are somewhat
committed to differing extreme points of view as opposed to splitting
hairs among the already brainwashed. There are few, if any, actual open
forums.
I am sometimes so disgruntled that I look for a toll that would allow be
to post in several boards simultaneously and then redirect
comments and responses to a central site. I think Google allows the
responses/comments to be on ones own site, but the other, more popular
bloghosts do not. It is a real pain in the ass the way it is. Yet
another installment on limiting debate. Divide and conquer.

I have seen people return to other groups. Web fora reek. They'll
be back.
