Totally forgot about the lounge... didn't it get created as a refuge from spammers and trolls? Looks like it didn't work...

Yeah, it's rarely used. A.H. seems mostly spam and trolling these days,
but all I ever see is numbers before my filters kill the cunts. Like the
initial number of posts will be 50, but after the killfile has done it's
job, there are only 10 posts left. But no one ever comes here.

It used to be useful for discussing new arrivals and having discussions
about the general state of alt.horror.

Sadly in it's infinite wisdom my ISP terminated their news server, so google groups is my glamourous option and i don't think there's such thing as a killfile here.

Some on the group have recommended this Usenet provider:
http://www.eternal-september.org/

It's free and you can use any browser that you want with it.
