Newsgroups

Does anyone still post to or use Newsgroups anymore?

I used to go to areas with names that started with alt.binaries.pictures.erotica etc. but most brousers took their readers away. I even subscribed to one that I think was associated with this site for awlile (Skinvideo?)

Do things like this exist anymore or were they replaced by rapidshare, flicker and the like?

See gogo usenet.com It is fantastic - lots of variety, tons of content.

I, personally, have not visited a newsgroup in two or three years.

I too haven't used a newsgroup in a LONG time. Maybe 3 or 4 years now. Usually the access provided by your ISP, if they provide at all, doesn't have good retention. I sed to use the free news reader Xnews. At one time I did subscribe to Giganews (IIRC). It was like $30 bucks a month, but the retention was great. Nowadays I am so tired from work that I'd rather check here, webcam sites like cam4, or streaming sites for porn since it takes less time.
