What were we doing before?
Scaring them away?

Any Questions?

As an avoider of most web forums, I was going to ask what MSFN
is/was. I ended up viewing the WayBack Machine archive, looks
like a general Windows discussion forum.

Like it or not (and I don't particularly like it), the readers of this
win-98 usenet newsgroup might not be aware that just based on
participation, the win-9x/me forum on msfn.org is a much more active
place where win-98 issues and questions get resolved and new
advancements in making things work under win-98 happens.

I feel they pay a heavy price - censorship and nazi-style moderation
(based on people on ego-boosting power-trips) is the rule of the day on
MSFN.

Very strange to not even see any mention of MSFN website problems on
their twitter page.

I hope that the Win-98 refugees from MSFN, who are now all floating
around in the sea, eventually discover this usenet newsgroup and we can
re-establish a functional and more open collective forum here that can't
be censored or moderated.
