Newsgroups

Its been a long time since i entered a newsgroup.
I used to log onto a few newsgroups about 8-9 years ago to download movies and the like, but i don't do any of that now for moral issues (not to say legal issues).
I didn't have a newsreader installed so i went ahead and joined a google group, for ease of joining a viewing as well.
Since i am an avid Office fan i decided to join a fan group for that show.



After i joined the group i decided to ask the following question.


I basically asked the following members, if any are privy, when the show will resume and whats going to happen with Jim and Pam.
Suffice to say i kept on checking for a response but no one replied.
Maybe its the group, not being overly active, but from posting on these types of groups i find it very cumbersome and slow. I prefer forums, which on the net there are plenty off and also very active.
From what i can see, most new generation users are more likely post in forums for the stated reasons.
Forums are easier to find and navigate.
That's my opinion anyway.
Well bye for now.
