I was wondering that as well: Is USENET dead after google has "changed
the format" of their groups? Is this some kind of ominous sign that
they are killing deja-news, and do THEY put all the PRICE IN INDIA
messages to get people to stop looking here?

Up until a few months ago, one could still get an answer on this
group. Now it seems to have stopped.

A lot of people must be using web based forums these days, and as the oldies
die, they aren't replaced.

Additionally, I only found usenet because my XP computer came with Outlook
Express and I explored it. Now new PCs don't come with a way of accessing
usenet unless you know how.

plenty of watch forums around these days, I view the NAWCC forums quite
bit these days seeing this news group is near dead, certainly nothing
like it was a few years ago.

Thanks everyone, that's what I assumed. There are a few good groups
left, but USENET died a few years ago.

In grad school I logged into over 17,000 groups in three years.

Yeah, I studied USENET.
