yeti Let's ditch this?
It's just another community zombie service.
Just frustratingly silent 99% of the time.
I've been away from the newsgroup for as much I didn't write here; yet this highlighted how, aside from occasional lurkers, there were only 3 active users there (me included), and this isn't enouh to keep a community alive.
We've had great threads there, and I enjoyed posting from plan9 and old hardware, but realistically, I realize how interest in his sort of things is slowly fading away (outside of niches like SDF and tildes, and even there....).
Sometimes I wish I had more time and calm to sit at my desk and have fun computing in this day and age. However, using a phone to write on a forum is simply more convenient for the majority of the userbase, and almost the totality of the rest of the people.
