Since there is some concern about the growing number of newsgroups,
I went looking in our news filesystem to see if there are some
newsgroups that have been forgotten about:
drwxrwxr-x 2 netnews bin 192 Dec 1 03:18 net/wobegon
drwxrwxr-x 2 netnews bin 32 Nov 19 17:31 net/micro/432
drwxrwxr-x 2 netnews bin 32 Nov 15 04:56 mod/unix
drwxrwxr-x 2 netnews bin 32 Nov 15 04:56 mod/music
As shown above, we haven't received any articles in these groups since
last December or earlier. More precisely, these are the last times
an article expired in these newsgroups. That's more than 3 months of
inactivity.
These are by far the oldest unused newsgroups on our system.
Do other sites have similar lack of use of these newsgroups?
Is it time to remove them?
