From about 2014 the posts get a lot less until this year and there
has not been much at all.
Hi all,
Today I decided to download all the headers from this gout because
I'm going to setup a new PC and I'm not sure if the later Agent usenet programs will allow me to copy the database to the new machine
unlike Agent 1 which will so I downloaded them into Agent 1.
The earliest post was July 2003. Lots of post up until 2009 where
spam and porn post became the norm up until 2012 when the spam seemed
to have stopped. I can under stand at that point why people posted
way less and I assume other online methods replaced usenet.

I now have about 1200 downloaded posts to go thru and reminisce over
the next few weeks. So real interesting post back in those days..
Still checking this group but not much going on (as is the case for most
of Usenet Groups). But still, once in a while, there's something
worthwhile posted!

Yes, this. There is still occasional traffic.

I look, never likely to make an on-topic post though because I don't
know much about the topic, just interested to listen in.
The slow death is replicated over most of the Usenet groups that I
subscribe to. Looking through archives, there are many that had a
topic like this started ten years ago, and a group of old regulars
chimed in. But then another five or more years of silence began, and
by the next time someone finally posted a topical question they'd all >seemingly left and none are ever heard from again (probably no longer >checking Usenet at all).
