A lot of younger people are using Usenet... Usenet has seen
record traffic year after year... it's not going downwards...
people are [generally] just not using Usenet to discuss things
on text newsgroups like RADW!
We have an example on this very newsgroup of why a sane and
sensible Doctor Who fan wouldn't leave a Facebook Group, Discord
or Reddit to come here and join-in with the Doctor Who chat...
well, what "Doctor Who" chat there is!
Plus, we have an active user base here that barely reaches
double digits on a good day. We are doing rewatch sessions of
the peak era of Doctor Who - the best there was... yet only four
people can be bothered to join in... If THAT era of the show
cannot get engagement, what can?
You're better off subscribing to a proper Usenet service
provider and downloading a TV show, movie or audiobook - you'll
be doing more to keep Usenet alive by doing that than asking
Dave Yadallee what he means by __(insert random inane misspelt
sentence here)__ all the time. (And you will soon get tired of
doing that!) And, at least you'll have something entertaining
to watch or listen to! :)
When we all pass, unfortunately RADW will die too...

To them traffic is traffic... if it's being used it's worth

What's the reason talk.philosphy.misc is now empty, then? Or misc.survivalism, or alt.personals? The person in question

IMO, the problem isn't a single person but that the spam years
drove so many of the good people away. The silver lining is
that most of the idjits also left. If we could attract more

There's plenty of discussion [on RADW] if you don't mind the odd
bible class every now and again.

too...

had plenty of DM's and e-mails over the years when I have tried

single one of them gave the same reason....the nonsense posts,
spam and trolling from a certain individual. Yads is infamous!

Google Groups disconnect in February 2024 stopped his spam in
its tracks.

If one doesn't have the time/patience/self control/<whatever> to
filter posts mentally, then a newsreader with good filtering/scoring >capablities can filter out posts from the 'trolls' *and* from people >responding to those posts. That can make a group quite bearable,
especially if filtering crossposts to troll-groups is added to the mix.
Of course that means if anyone wants to introduce an outsider to
Usenet, one should provide them with these tools and with instructions/ >guidance on how to use them.
As you can see from my 'User-Agent:' header, I use Hamster (a local
'proxy' news server) and tin to do the job. There are several other
options, for Windows and Linux (and probably also for Mac).
news.software.readers is over there --->

Generally the Admins would tell you to contact the system
administrator of the source ISP for a post that has been
reported for abuse... in this case; NetKnow Inc, Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada.
I'm sure back in the day (1990/2000's) some people on Usenet
probably did try and calm Yads down by sending abuse reports...
If they did, it doesn't seem to have had much effect on his ways.
