This is my first day on Usenet after several years. I
first got on Usenet on January 10, 1992 from the Cleveland
Freenet. I have had many special experiences on Usenet in
the past and I am glad to see that there are those who
have continued to support Usenet and that there is an
effort to revive the good experiences Usenet made
possible. Usenet for me was part of the "Welcome to the
Wonderful World of the Net" that marked the 1990s and the
Internet. I hope ways can be found to learn from the best
of the Net and to support its continuation.

Does anyone know of any Freenets that still exist or are in use?
The Seattle Community Network still seems to exist:

Chebucto Community Net in Halifax still exists:

Mention of Chebucto brought back memories of Norman De Forest, who was a tireless volunteer on the Chebucto userhelp team as well as a generous
and thoughtful contributor to Usenet. Google Groups is flaky these days,
but if the link works, this thread contains a wonderful tribute: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.virus/c/abDxPPICLtI/m/l7dfyg3Nly4J
As for other freenets, NCF in Ottawa certainly seems to be going strong
after 29 years: https://www.ncf.ca/

I wonder if anyone knows if any of the existing FreeNets
offer Usenet?
