BTW Usenet is still around, I still read it every week. Most groups are dead or pure bot spam, but there are pockets of actual activity. Usenet is quite awesome conceptually. It's a much better solution than mailing lists for large group discussions, and obviously better than all proprietary walled garden forums.
