Wouldn't shock me, as there aren't ~40 people here regularly, but I have
never seen it like this before. The same couple guys upload everything,
a couple others (me included) contribute in spurts, while the rest just
download quietly. We go a week or two between comments and now we go
multiple days without uploads.
It probably isn't a black mark on the group as much is it is a comment
on USENET in general. Torrents are "easier" for most, and web-based
discussion boards accessible to all have rendered this technology
useless in that regard. I was active on a local team NFL board that is
now defunct, save for a few spam posts. At its peak, it saw ~50 posts an
hour.
Videobox.com is $100 a year and has more porn than you could watch or
download in 3 lifetimes. (my main source) xHamster, PornoTube, xvideos,
etc... all good shit, all free. Fetish sites are everywhere, virtually
free. Torrents are free. (my other source) Why do we need this?
I just switched to usenetserver.com and bought NewsBin. Amazing stuff,
but I feel like a carpenter with new tools and nothing to build. I don't
see how this turns around, not just for us, but USENET in general.
