    Great idea - it's a little slow in there at the moment although I'm totally behind what you're trying to do.

    Playing devils advocate do you think we may be better focusing on this forum? Or, dare I say it, on Facebook?

    Dear HappyMacXL you fail to quote, so we can't see the question your
    replying to. You're posting through GG, so you've probably no idea how old
    the post is. And how inactive this group is.

    Hello Kerr,
    There isn't a 'quote' button that I can see; although I'm browsing on my phone so perhaps I don't have the full options.
    Yes I can see how inactive it is, do you have any thoughts on why? Preference on other sites & groups? Decline in interest in subject matter?

    Some years ago, there was a massive DDOS attack on Internet News. At
    roughly the same time, a number of politicians were claiming that News
    was used mainly to distribute kiddy porn. A number of ISPs stopped
    carrying it, and, while this was going on, Facebook arrived. I don’t
    know of any newsgroup that is carrying even 1% of the traffic it used to.
