I was talking to someone via PM and we were talking about the Lusenet, and I remembered there were links left. So I dug this up for your enjoyment.

You'll probably find my name in there.

Wow, what a great blast from the past! I skimmed through a few threads and this is going to be good info for future reference.

I've never seen or heard of this before, but the resources and information there are deep. When did they start up? I couldn't find any information about that, but maybe I need to spend more time looking for it.
I did see that they had a failure in 2005, and suggested things be moved to Yahoo groups. I believe that Yahoo groups are gone now as well. Google had groups as well, but I believe those are gone, too.

That was before 2002. The parts that I know, after 2002 it would be less as forums were getting started strong at that time.

Google groups was still a thing we used at work before I left in 2022.
