It still is getting posts, though few and far between. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/alt.sysadmin.recover... . Thats an aspect of the "if no one is there, new people don't stick around when they show up."

As that one slowly became luserish, the both hierarchy was created that had a restricted feed http://bofh.taronga.com/bofh.html - that one is harder to find and as I've been out of sysadmin for some time where I could ask the right person for either a feed or access to their server... I can't say anymore.

I recovered many years ago ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/alt.sysadmin.reco... )... crap... thats two decades.

Hmmm, some familiar names there, but yeah - quiet...

I wonder if I've still got working credentials to The Other Place?
