Usenet is a worldwide distributed electronic bulletin board system

I remember sitting around waiting for doom to drop on usenet and then go snag it from wuarchive. Then the message pops up 'its here its here' in the body 'my salad shooter is here'. To that troll I salute you good sir. You got me.

People still use it and seems that has been an uptick.<p>Also people posting from Google Groups no longer sends their posts to USENET. That means spam has dropped quite a bit.<p>There are a few free providers you can use to access USENET, a simple search should bring them up.

Is Usenet used for anything other than piracy and csm atm?
