I remember dejanews, but don't remember liking the experience. I remember being very excited when Google acquired them.

I remember being super bummed when bitrot set in. Posts I knew existed just couldn't be found.

As someone who got their first car running by way of Usenet archives (a 69 Beetle), I always loved how well it was archived compared to all the web bulletin boards that fragment so much information as they quickly rot year after year.
