Whether a newsgroup has four members or twenty, what makes it fun is when everyone has something to say. In some of them I've visited, it's one or two people that are trying to create interesting posts. If they're answered, I feel it's a successful group. But when posts are let slide by without anyone commenting, it makes a feeling like a sinking ship and sooner or later, the host gives up.

For a long time, while I was sick and didn't give a rip if I lived or died, I thought the group I host would just fade off. But the other members kept it going (thanks~~)but now many of the posts aren't answered or commented on. So I've stopped posting much at all.
