II would think that the FB RFC group could be a good source of
history, with some members knowing the whereabouts of the early Usenet
posters. I
All Usenet groups evolved as individual group dynamics waxed and
waned- FB gave it a run for its money and a final Usenet kick in the
face that required no separate newsreader or feed, and had some
rather strange moderators who loved to ban those with whom they
disagreed. I cannot even say what's what with FB these days, as I have
been away from it for 6 or 7 years.
I find that reddit is more fun in general.
