What's happened to this group?

There used to be fifty posts a day here, now we are lucky if we have
that many in a week. What's happened?

Good question. 3 years ago this NG was alive. Don't know, perhaps the forums
on the internet?

That's possibly true.
When most people were on dial-up, Usenet was much quicker to use, but
now with more people being on broadband, the forums won't seem such a
drag.

The other thing might be that since the group has been going for a
while, it might be that the archives on google.groups are much bigger,
so people with a basic question can find their answer by looking there
rather than posting their question here?

Sad, really, because I find this the most fun and lively way of using the net.

Liz, I think you're on the button here.

Also, forums are much "sexier" in presentation, with fancy screens,
nice colours etc.

Perhaps Usenet has passed it's "sell by" date?

I'll still be here for a while though :-)

Hi Seb

We have an Africa Travel Forum over at
http://www.aardvarktravel.net/chat/viewforum.php?f=1 (as well as other
travel forums at http://www.aardvarktravel.net/chat/ )

I think where forums win over Usenet is in their moderation. Usenet
attracts way too much spam for my liking and nobody seems to be able
to do anything about it.
