For months it's mostly been spam. Only a few of the usenet groups I used 
to read regularly still get "real" postings.

Man, this is really sad, I haven't come on the newsgroup since 2007 but 
it was not like this, what happened? People don't see the fun in 
newsgroup anymore?

People tend to gather in local Web forums and/or mailing lists, I guess.

It's a bit of a shame, besides the greater flexibility in choosing the
UI one uses (forum software typically being insanely awful), newsgroups
always seemed to have much more variety of posters than typical forums
do ...

It seems like some superficial victory of the merchants over freedom.

How stupid is Facebook to write, and yet how popular it is. The same 
goes for almost all websites.

What are the most important reasons why powerful and dedicated 
protocols such as IRC/NNTP fail in your opinion? Here are some 
possibilities:

- design and rich content considered "sexy" (MSN smileys)
- need a dedicated software, people still confuse Internet and a browser
- marketing issue

Overall, I guess we can say younger educated generations will knowingly 
adopt the inferior solution because it's the trend.


Yet all the Internet protocols are open standards (TCP-IP and lower 
layers). Websites are only the cherry on the cake. But that cherry is 
worth 99% of the wealth. So of course it's only superficial, but it's 
still a victory.
