Newsgroups are a very efficient way to communicate IMO. I can download all
new messages while doing something else, then filter and speed read
quickly and easily. Searches via Google Groups are similarly painless if
you're careful how you phrase your search.
I just wish there was a similarly quick and painless way of searching
(multiple) forums, and -- even better -- a way of downloading new (text
only) messages for "offline" sorting & reading. I'd pay for something that
could manage that trick.
Whether most users would pay to access most forums is a different matter.
It's easy to appreciate something when it's free. Still, you have to hand
it to the guys who keep many useful websites running; they do a great job
even if I rarely use them.

Interesting, though, that when RSC is down it doesn't take more than a few
minutes for someone to come here and holler. There must be a few people finding
it useful ;)

That statement deserves to become a classic :)

offended, truly sorry. All the best,

Anyway many of us and I in particular really miss my regular fix of RSC
and hope that they're back up soon.
Funny how I was just thinking about this the other day!
I've heard people refer to ras as a "dinosaur" etc and always wondered
why. It will always be here - never to be extinct.
Problem with RSC is that it's become as big as bananas and stuff is just
too hard to find. Though maybe that could be fixed with better indexing.
