Maybe an Irish wake?

That guy that posts the anti-Belfort messages posts in all the rec.aviaition groups and is just ignored. It seems that RAR is the only place that answers him. Since 3/31 there have been two helicopter related posts. Neither has been responded to.

Is there a news group that focusses more on private non-commercial helo owners? I haven't seen one, but let me know if you find it. I think this forum just suffers from diversity. Unlike the fixed wing forums that offer a different group for "piloting" and "experimental", all rotorcraft discussions come to one group. And the diversity in thinking creates a lot of unnecessary stress. I miss the good old days too. Nick, Walt and many others had a lot to share - as did a lot of the back yard builders, even if many of them were just swaping "what if's". But the average offshore, ENG and former military pilots have little in common with the back yard builders, yet both have a lot of constructive information to share. I am of the back yard builder, wanna be rotorcraft pilots myself. But I sure would like to follow a piloting group as well.

I got out of there because it was mainly populated with people who had never built a helicopter that knew that the people that had built one did it wrong. We publish the Experimental Helo magazine and get exposed to a lot of small helicopter information but I would like to find a newsgroup that had interaction between people involved in the building, modifiying and maintaining a helicopter in a less formal and quicker acting than the magazine. And frankly that newsgroup would probably provide information for and maybe writers of articles for the magazine.

Back in the AOL days (read: 1995-97), AOL provided this through the service and you didn't need a reader and the setup for the usenet server was taken care of. Later, webforums began to take off and the usenet server became a more archaic method of interaction. Besides, webforums protected you by giving you a more anonymous interface (not counting the administrators). Anyways, the continuing demise of usenet, along with the contribution of everyone's favorite, former Belfort employee probably should not be viewed as a huge surprise. Still sad, though.

And the drawback to OE is that one still needs a News server which has become more and more archaic, although most ISPs still provide them as a service.

Google Groups is much more accessible than AOL ever was and there is no need to use OE if you are using GG. You seem to be promoting the idea of an even less available web based forum that people would have to find to use. While USENET is very old technology it is very good at doing what it was designed for. One failed server doesn't shut it down and no one person can control what is communicated. A lot of the web-based forums that are out there are really just fronts for USENET access and some of those posting don't even know it. There are over 10,000 groups and while I'll be the first to admit that many aren't worth the disk space that they use there are several that have a ton of great information and lively discussion. Including some right here in the REC.Aviation.* hierarchy. Linc wrote: Quote: Google Groups is a relatively new feature/service, especially compared to the heyday of RAR.
