Last month was r.t.l's 32nd birthday (33rd if you count a.t.l)! Now it's dead here. It already was several years after Lugnet (which itself is slightly less dead) was created, but now there's not even spam from Google Groups any more. I wonder what everyone from here is up to 32 years later? Will anyone even see this?

I did see it. I’m here, trying to find something alive.
Still playing with mindstorms from all generations, RCX, NXT, EV3,

I just recently got back into usenet after discovering eternal-september.org
I never really lurked on this group - at the time alt.fan.sailor-moon was my goto group. It's been fun looking at my old posts on Google Groups.
Maybe usenet will have a revival if the new social media platforms cause people to leave. Either that or we will be forced back into retro computing since all the AI data centers use up all the GPU, RAM, and SSD capacity. :)
Lego has always been a favorite hobby through all of my life. Although there have been waves where I have sold off a bunch of sets only to buy different ones years later. Right now I'm getting back into collecting Minecraft ones.
