I've heard many times that Usenet is dead. I never stopped using Usenet. I've been lurking Usenet for decades and I never considered it dead. It's obscure because most people are mesmerized by social media, reddit, and the like. Let the proles and zombies have their addictive behavior modeling distractions. As for me and my net, we will serve the ASCII. Anyone can set up a news server with their own hierarchies. In fact some organizations still do just that. I am considering how to run my own NNTP rig on a VPS with sci.crypt on the roster. I also am thinking of how to set up a Bitmessage <--> Usenet gateway that mirrors Bitmessage chans as Usenet hierarchies. It seems SUSE realizes that Usenet is a treasure. [quote] [https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSLO/program/proposals/3028] Reviving Usenet Presented by: jsevans from Suse I'm a training engineer and open-source enthusiast at SUSE in Prague. No video of the event yet, sorry! I am located in Prague Time zone: CEST Abstract: The Big-8 newsgroups are those that begin with comp., misc., news., rec., sci., soc., talk., and humanities. They have been the backbone of much of the Usenet since the 1980's. These newsgroups are maintained by the Big-8 Management Board. In 2015, a new board was voted in. The term for a board member is 18 months. By late 2017 the entire board had either resigned or let their terms expire. Since then, no new news groups have been created, no abandoned newsgroups have been removed, and no other maintenance have been done. This was surely a sign that Usenet is dying. In late 2019, two openSUSE members came together on Reddit and began working with the former board members to put in a new board and to draw attention again to the benefits of Usenet. There is no reason for it to die. In fact, it should be protected as one of the most important living artifacts of Internet history. Not in a museum, but a living active organ of the internet. This is our story to bring back the Big-8 Management Board and to breath new life into Usenet.

It is also obscure because:
1) many (most?) ISP's began dropping NNTP feeds as part of their
provided package of features when one purchased an account. If
one's ISP did not provide NNTP, and the person signing up did not
already know of Usenet and also know how to buy separate access,
then there was limited to no discovery on the part of new people
on the 'net' of Usenet
2) the growth of "the web" began over time to overshadow many of the
older 'net protocols, to the point that many users today think of
"the web" as "the internet". And again, for much the same reason
as #1, if the new user did not alreay know of Usenet, they had
little to no possibilty of discovery
3) around the same time as #1 and #2 were happening, Usenet was also
massively overrun by spammers hawking everything imaginable.
That, combined with the trolls, likely led some who were using
Usenet to switch to other forums (web forums, etc.) which promised
some level of "filtering" out of the trash. Yes, real newsreaders
provide kill/score files, but for a new Usenet entrant, having to
deal with building out over time a kill/score file to filter the
small bit of signal from a large amount of noise meant that of the
few who did discover Usenet in one way or another, only a subset
of those new folks remained around after some short length of
time.
The spam problem has largely gone away (mostly) -- due to the users
also going away, if all the users came back, so too would the spam
likely follow.
Now we have a problem that few folks younger than X even know of
Usenet, or if they do, they only know if it as "that place where one
downloads binaries via NZB files". And with #1 (few ISP's carrying it
anymore) it is hard to gain new folks joining up to discuss anything.

I'm old but not old enough. not usenet, started with vmshare (predating usenet), TYMSHARE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymshare started offering its (VM370) CMS-based online computer conferencing free to IBM user group SHARE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARE_(computing) in Aug1976 as VMSHARE ... archives here http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare I had deal with TYMSHARE to get monthly tape dump of all VMSHARE (and later PCSHARE) files for putting up on IBM internal systems and network ... most difficult time was with IBM lawyers who were concerned that internal employees would be contaminated with customer information. I was then blamed for online computer communication on the internal network (larger than arpanet/internet from just about the beginning until sometime mid/late 80s) ... folklore is that when corporate executive committe was told about it, 5of6 wanted to fire me. from IBM Jargon http://www.comlay.net/ibmjarg.pdf Tandem Memos - n. Something constructive but hard to control; a fresh of breath air (sic). That's another Tandem Memos. A phrase to worry middle management. It refers to the computer-based conference (widely distributed in 1981) in which many technical personnel expressed dissatisfaction with the tools available to them at that time, and also constructively criticized the way products were [are] developed. The memos are required reading for anyone with a serious interest in quality products. If you have not seen the memos, try reading the November 1981 Datamation summary. although there were only about 300 active, claim was there were possibly 25,000 reading, activity had really taken off after I distributed a trip report about a visit to Jim Gray at Tandem. Summer of 1981, printed about 300 pages ... prefixed with an executive summary and summary of the summary, packaged in Tandem 3-ring binders and sent one to each executive committee member. Later after leaving IBM in the early 90s, pagesat gave me a full usenet sat. feed in return for writing SGI+AIX (unix) & MS/DOS sat. modem drivers and a article for boardwatch magazine. I also had it up on 486 ms/dos machine with waffle. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970

I'm old but not old enough. OK then, I think I started in 1998 with win98 and trumpet winsock and Free Agent. But in that same year I think it was I found a CD with SLS Linux. So as C exercise wrote my own newsreader, had to be a Linux Free Agent like style: http://panteltje.com/panteltje/newsflex/index.html still using it today. The interesting thing is that I now have a searchable database of all those postings I found interesting going back to 1998. As for age, I will be 75 in a few months.

Sometime after that I discovered Usenet. So I've known about/been lurking in Usenet since circa 1993. But I likely spent more time lurking than posting back then, as the internet access was a "work account" that came with all the normal "behave" legalese that "work accounts" come with. It would be until I got a personal dialup account before I really started being more active than a lurker. And the exact time for that is lost to history, but is likely circa 1996 or 1997. So somewhere from 24 to 29 years for me.

So somewhere from 24 to 29 years for me. 32 for me. In 1989 a local BBS (Mind Link) established a link to Usenet in a way that made a number of newsgroups look like their local message groups.

Actually I think it was win3.1 with trumpet winsock and Free Agent for me so on Usenet a bit earlier than 1998. Been in Linux since 1998 and never went back to windows, Had to use it and program in it for my work at times though.

Yes, no need for Winsock after Windows 3.1 .. I have a Gateway 2000 machine with Windows 3.11 from 1994 or so, still hooked up on my desk here. It has an internal modem, and I occasionally boot it up and toy around with it for fun. There aren't many websites that work with it, but text Usenet and basic text e-mail would still work fine.

Ah the joys of being in the right place at the right time, I first heard about USENET and the UUCP network in the mid 1980s but failed (despite repeated attempts) to persuade my employer that they needed a feed from UKC so I didn't get connected until I got a Demon account in 1992 - eek that's nearly thirty years ago!

I'm quite curious who the oldest poster is on this newsgroup.. I don't mean age, but who's been here the longest.

Must be 1994+. -- greymausg@mail.com That's not a mousehole!
