    Hi Ross,

    My guess is that this group is virtually dead. Everybody's gone off to
    forums or blogs or facebook or twitter.

    I still subscribe to the group and there have been maybe 100 posts
    this year - mostly about banality.

    So it's not hard to see why people don't see a need to post about the
    IF competition here.

    Just in case someone else is interested in interactive fiction

    Regards,
    Peter.

    There still are people reading this newsgroup. Not as many as there used
    to be, but they exist.
