   A good example is rec food cooking -- I enjoy most topics there, and   
   have yet to find a more active newsgroup.

   I'd say most newsgroups started dying due to web forums... not to   
   mention, most ISP's dropping Usenet access over a decade ago.  Modern   
   social media has taken little from what's left, perhaps smart phones   
   have chipped a bit at it.
