 I can only tell you that the seniors groups, High.Heels and any group
 that DOOM visited (in his mistaken attempts at attacking the troll Joe
 Blob) are pretty much dead. In those groups the start of the decline
 can be directly linked to Joe Blob and his flooding, attacks and
 turning people in for copyright violations. Yep, Joe's the "king"
 alright.
