    Remember what Google Groups did to Usenet? We should be wary.

      It didn’t do anything. Usenet still exists and is active in some circles. It’s not very popular, but it’s as alive and well as it always was.

        Usenet is still my primary source for uh…discounted media. I’ve had it for so long now I couldn’t even imagine not using it

      Breathe life into an almost-dead format and worked hard to retrieve as much post history as possible? Yeah, I remember what Google did to Usenet. Do you?

        I remember it filling groups with non-text posts which could not be read by Usenet clients, among other things.
