Looks that way.

I've been off newsgroups for a couple of months and I came back here
yesterday to see a total of six messages!

2013 marked 25 years of reading and posting to rbr and its
predecessor rec.bicycles for me. But maybe it is time to
fold it up and delete my reader.

Most of the people whose stuff was worthwhile are on the
facebook rbr. So I don't really miss the old rbr.

Of course it is still off-season.

I think it reflects the general demise of Usenet. For a lot of
newsgroups (especially sports-focused), it seems that most are down to a
handful of long-standing regulars talking to each other. And even then,
the regulars are slowly departing.

On the other hand, not all of us bother with Facebook.

Hi Mower man, the only thing in here are ghosts and cobwebs. So sad, it
use to be a lively place.

Seems to have been taken over by spammers. That's happened to a lot of the rec.bicycles newsgroups such as marketplace, misc. and rides.

Cheers
