As Andreas intimated, usenet as a whole seems to be dying.  People 
prefer web forums (which I hate).  But one advantage to web forums is 
the moderator can lock out trolls, which usenet can't (unless it's a 
moderated group - which has even less traffic).

Some mailing lists also seem to be popular, which is why 
comp.lang.python is so popular.  Without it, there wouldn't be much traffic.

However, there are quite a few good programmers here who are willing to 
assist you in your PHP problems.
