Old Internet Newsgroups That Flopped

Before myspace, facebook, twitter, the internet had bulletin-board newsgroups.

Some newsgroups were very popular, but others totally failed.

Here’s a list of some of the doomed newsgroups.

• alt.sex.lesbian.steel_workers
• alt.aviation.kamikazi.pilots
• alt.sex.gay.policemen
• alt.sex.straight_actors_guild
• alt.aviation.hang_gliders.quadraplegic
• comp.os.win95.happy_users
• alt.military.deutchland.ss.former.hit-squad.members
• alt.religion.jewish.oversexed.girls
• alt.justice.free.charles.manson
• alt.medical.proctologist.talk

Do you have other newsgroups to add to this list of failures?
