Will there be a wake for
RAR? 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. |

I miss the days when Nick Lappos, 180walt, Bob B. and many other very
experienced pilots would exchange information.

I probably asked this question before: Is rec.aviation.rotorcraft
primarily for the 206 and up crowd? I've posted stuff about the
experimental helo world and felt like I drug a dead cat into the living room
of a fancy estate.
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. |

There is a helicopter forum moderated by a guy who is building a Scorpion.
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.

All you need to do is use promote this forum in your magazine and since
it is pretty much dead it will become the forum you are looking for.

The problem is that the newsgroup format requires a dedicated news
reader and a usenet server to pull the messages from. 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.

Hey 601XL builder, not a bad idea. I'm on my way to a couple of events in
Florida. I'll see if there is any interest is pursuing this idea.

You do realize that is newsgroup and all the rest of USENET is accesible
via Google Groups? Also virtually every computer ships with perfectly
usable USENET software, Outlook Express.

Google Groups is a relatively new feature/service, especially compared
to the heyday of RAR. And there are plenty who will argue the
"perfectly usable" nature of OE. What's more, the two do not "blend",
as in you can't setup OE to access Usenet through Google Groups. 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.

Linc you seem to think there is no hope for USENET in general and RAR in
particular. 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.

Why not start your own forum Stuart/Kathryn? Domain hosting is really
inexpensive these days and phpBB software is free..

Man the NG was great back then, fun and informative some flaming, |
some trolling but for the most part
good reading. I left when AOL discontinued Newsgroups but then
picked it back up via Google which was
very simple. But now I pretty much just lurk.
