Toolz, I can remember when the newsgroups, Archie, and Veronica were about the only way to get anything (pre-browser days). the newgroups got lost in spam, petty power trips, weird politics, and http.
Now it is mostly a useless cesspool of people still living in 1993. Decent chat board software with simple moderation has made the usenet nothing but a very quaint throwback, similar to visiting an amish village. I am sure there are some people in there doing some good stuff, but it isn't hardly worth the effort to go see.
