ISPs got greedy and began cutting services (while still rising prices) years ago. Very few, if any, still provide free Usenet access, free email addresses, or free website space these days. Banks are doing teh same style of service dcutting while charging more style of "customer service". X-( The Eternal Septmeber Usenet access provider does still exist (I'm using it now), as do other Usenet access providers, including the free-but-awful Google Groups access to Usenet. The two real reasons this newsgroup and many others are dead / dying is because very few people even know about Usenet let alone bother with it, and the Amiga* died long ago, thanks to Commodore management's incompetence. Both reasons combined means this is an incredible niche newsgoup.
