My first post in RMCG was back in Aug 14, 2001. That's 19 years ago.
Time really flies!!!
How many people who posted in the heyday of RMCG which was approximately in 2005 are still tuning in? Five? Twelve? Three?
Thank you!

I doubt the RMCG drop-off is due to any fading of interest in CG, but rather to the advent of online video.

My first RMCG post was in 1994, btw. What do I win?

There's a dropoff in almost all newsgroups. Many newsgroups get almost
no new messages any more. It's not because of online video; it's
because of a lack of interest in usenet in general.The great majority
of internet users these days don't even know that usenet exists.

I felt that I was one of the last in rmmgj. Almost all movecd to
Facebook, but don't seem to have a presence there. There are lots of
jazz guitar groups, but it has diffused decent discussion.
Are there any classical groups of value on Facebook?

rec.music.classical.recordings is still fairly active on usenet. There
is a group of some of the same people who have migrated over to FB.
The usenet group still has its share of trolls, but the entertainment
value has diminished, and the off-topic political posts have become
tiresome. OTOH, the collections of music these guys (almost 100%
male, BTW) have is quite astounding. I can't imagine they can listen
to it all and still have time to post (or eat, or sleep).

But no classical guitar group of value?
So what are the Facebook groups named where the .recordings crew has
gone to?

Sorry. The Delcamp forum has been around a long time. The moderator is sometimes painted as a petty tyrant; I haven't spent enough time around
there to know. It is popular, and seems to have a great deal of information.

The old "Eskimo" list (and I don't know where that name is from--maybe
they run the forums) went to yahoo and now is basically dead. There are
a couple of classical guitar groups on Facebook; those I've seen don't
see a lot of traffic.

Mr. Delcamp is strict about members' requirement to post something like at least two messages a month and even more strict about copyright issues. I posted my arrangement of a Puccini aria and a moderator took it down, since even though the music is

That's why I prize these usenet groups, what's left of them, since the participants tend to have been members longer and are sometimes older, and so offer more seasoned points of view.
You're right that the forum has a great deal of information, but much of the discussion is helpful especially to beginners. Of the many Facebook CG groups, this one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/203609713179964, has 16,000 members and a fair amount

You bet, Gerry. Here's one with more members but maybe not as much
traffic: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1028451850503937. Most of the
others there are either much smaller or localized.
