I'm hoping NOT.

"a nice UX" is what killed the rest of usenet (google groups anyone?)

What killed GG is that for the longest time it was swamped with spam. Took them surprisingly long to get on top of that.

What killed Usenet was AOL, not Google Groups, which was more like an attempt at resuscitation/usurpation than anything else.

If it killed the rest of Usenet, it was no true Scotsman. Erm, not a nice UX.

pretty slack may also kill IRC in the same way (seriously) at some point nobody is going to use either
