Oh I am not sure that this is true - having followed this group for a
long time. - I think that the reason the group has died-off is that
there is no longer a link direct from winmx.com

We could perhaps talk to KM, Vladd etc and ask them to link to us?

However, since winmx.com went down, there are presumably a lot less
newbies, and I guess the old lags don't need to ask 'what is AFS?' etc.

and not newbies...
