Nope.
As far as I know, I'm the only person in the entire world using
Windows 98. And I'd change if I hadn't learned the hard way that
"upgrading" the operating system is a Very Bad Idea. The last
upgrade that actually improved anything was the change from TRS-80 to
Windows 3.1 -- and at that time I was shocked to see that the
*printer* was now waiting for the *computer*. And it was the same
old printer.

You guys are reading the wrong newsgroup.
The most active windows 98 newsgroup for the past 10+ years has been:
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion
That is a usenet newsgroup that also just happens to be carried on
Microsoft's usenet server. Well, it was since 1996, until just a week
ago, when microsoft removed that group from it's server as it shuts down
it's server which started a month ago and will be complete in a couple
of months.
In any case, that is still an active newsgroup across the rest of
usenet.
An alternate group is alt.windows98.
As for web-based forums, I don't think that anything beats the win9x/me
forum on msfn.org:
Rusty Shackleford
gave up on it. It was a very good OS. I also use it as a testing
environment for trojan horses and what exact points are most
vulnerable.
