Do you have an owner of the ng? I thought the postings would just
slowly drop off the board and then it would just say "No postings in
this group"!! Sorry if I jumped the gun!!!! Anyone going to Quartzsite
this Jan.?

The newsgroup isn't going away. But the newsgroup members are slowly going
elsewhere, and it is the regular members who define the content of the
newsgroup. Without them, all that is left is spam and the occasional novice
who drops in just long enough to decide whether it is worth their time to
check in on a regular basis. This particular newsgroup used to be a lot
more active, but has been slowly shrinking. I know I seem to just lurk now.

I'm a lurker here - don't have much to offer the newbies, as I'm mostly a
stringer or embellishing stitched pieces. (not that I've done much lately
of either - just too busy, too tired or both)

I'm sorry to see the newsgroup/usenet experience fade away. I think it was a
truly open enriching experience for all who used it. I've made some very
special friends along the way.

Same here. Some have since dropped off usenet altogether. (Hi Kalera!)

I sometimes still make new stuff, meaning completely new to me, not
necessarily new new, but different, but mostly when I make things
they're 'same old'. I got over my fear of crimping (or rather failing
at that) thanks to somebody here, and I think I'll do some wire
wrapping again too.

Got a fair to go to, local high school and just found out yesterday
that the only access for a hand truck is way in the back, so I'll try
to get there early - and got to go.

Aloha,
Maren

It's sad.....but with Facebook and other places like that out there,
newsgroups just fade into the background for me. Also, Comcast got
rid of newsgroup access, so I have to view it through Google, which
kind of sucks.
I will always love it here though, when I have chance to hang out.

Kandice,

thanks for popping in. I've done newsgroups via Google for 5 years or
so since hawaii.edu stopped maintaining their newsserver. I'm unable
to post to several of the moderated newsgroups directly, but as I know
the moderators and they know me, even that is possible when I really
want to (this does not include misc.taxes.moderated the last time I
tried, or rec.crafts.jewelry)

Glad you haven't forgotten rec.crafts.beads exists, or how to get
here :)

Kandice, I'm on Comcast as well. I'm using eternal-september for my
newsgroups and it's been very stable.

Let me know if you want more info.
