   Mitch, you are mixing Usenet portal with conventional Internet Forum.   
      
   RWT is a forum. It didn't crash in recent months. David Kanter didn't   
   lose interest. Not that he has a whole lot of interest, but that is   
   another story. He is interested enough to pay the bill for hosting and   
   that is the most important thing as far as participants are concerned.   
   I don't know why you stopped posting there. Would guess that you forgot   
   the address.   
   BTW, https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?roomid=1   
      
   For Usenet you were using i2pn2.org server, probably via www.novabbs.com   
   web portal created with Rocksolid Light software. The server and portal   
   were maintained by Retro Guy (Thom). 2025-04-26 Thom passed away from   
   pancreatic cancer. His Usenet server and his portal continued to work   
   without maintenance until late July. But eventually they stopped.   
   So it goes.
