How did we move from usenet to forums?

Browsers and the internet protocols were pretty sweet, man

Didn't usenet also have a lot of spam problems associated with it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. Still does. Though blocking Google groups cuts down on most of it

Yeah I've heard the spam problems have gotten worse these days but I always knew people complained about that because many of the services just didn't moderate spam.

Everything had spam problems 😅

Good point, spam always has been and always will be an issue.
