Surprising to see recent headlines. Who here is still maintaining this. I am so nostalgic and intrigued.

It must be AOL. AOL runs Verizon's Mail. When I clicked to check my Netscape Mail, which I have never had, I was taken to an AOL.com mail login page. Plus, the Netscape page attempts to load AOL resources.

I have SeaMonkey installed alongside Firefox on my laptop simply because it's kind of fun to browse the web in a browser that sort of looks like the late Netscape Navigator, or early Mozilla browser. It's fun loading a Netscape site in it.

  Ditto. While Mozilla shut down the mailing lists this week, there's now an alt.comp.software.seamonkey newsgroup.

    It's been a while since I've tried newsgroups. They were already on their way out by the time I was born. Does gnus still work? Is there a way to connect (preferable with the ability to post) with it for free? How does one make a newsgroup?

Yep, you can get a free account at https://www.eternal-september.org/ https://www.eternal-september.org/ if your ISP doesn't carry newsgroups (note it's for text groups only). Personally, I use Thunderbird as a newsreader (and my ISP still carries most newsgroups), there are also dedicated apps like Pan: http://pan.rebelbase.com/ http://pan.rebelbase.com/

  It's also GDPR compliant! I guess there still must be enough traffic on it to continue updates.

    That consent page is not compliant.

      I'll give it a pass just because this webpage is clearly intended only for US consumption. In other news, that's the same "consent page" for all Oath* services, which makes my blood boil. * Now Verizon Media, but I now see the utility of such seemingly-frivolous name.
