Before the web you had Usenet and BBS boards to discuss topic’s At present there are 100,000 Usenet newsgroups on every topic know and unknown. This Wiki article explains it quite well. I spent many a day discussing topics on Usenet discussion groups.

AT&T decided to drop a whole section of newsgroups called alt. due to a few porn o graphic newsgroups. The fellow who took Eliot Spitzer we all know how that turned out.

Decided to press the ISP’s to ban all alt. groups and ISP’s being the towers of strength that they are said yes.
