Newsgroups

what newsgroups to you visit progriders?

the only ones I find really go on nowadays are rec.games.roguelike.development and de.comp.os.unix.linux.*

are there others that are still active and not filled with spam?

general newsgroup/usenet discussion?

I really stopped getting on usenet as much for recreation when I realized /prog/ is the exact same community with the same exact jokes, people and opinions, eerily similar offtopic posts, et cetera. Now I only really lurk for technical discussions about obscure SBC's that me and 3 other people still hack on and even then I have better luck on mailing lists
