There was a high school studnet wanting to set up an NNTP node withing the last 3 months!

 I remember. They just kind of disappeared.
The school IT dept probably decided to block Usenet for the safety of "the kids".
 

Or they realised that it was more work than they thought for not enough shiny, and they had to rework their plans.
It's not necessarily that people just give up because stuff is hard, there is limited time in the day and people have other stuff to do.
