so are there any usenet groups that can compare to ATOT?

[dpopiz]

ok, sorry if this is a noob Q, but I'm a noob to usenet. in the past I always passed it off as unnecessary with web forums. but recently I've given it a better chance and I realized that it has a lot of advantages.

anyway, something that seems to be missing from usenet is the very large groups of misc people that talk about anything, like you get on web fourms. ex: ATOT

is that correct? or are there indeed some groups similar to the style of ATOT and other off topic web forums?

usenet is ghetto

DItto on the ghetto. Usenet forums aren't moderated and that makes for a bunch of never ending flame fests

No.

think of it as one huge collection of forums, spanning across servers worldwide which are all connected

Besides being a great way to get porn and downloads, Usenet is great information resource. Microsoft has a ton of newsgroups for their products. It's probably the best way to get an answer from them there is.
