it's ~~interesting~~ bullshit if the article author actually things that binaries were the problem. What ended the usenet was google groups providing a gateway to the usenet for people who had no idea what the usenet was. Lots of dumb users posting low quality content, and eventually bots spamming all relevant groups. Binaries had been around forever, in dedicated newsgroups, and they most certainly did not contribute to the downfall of usenet, if anything, the opposite.
Dude. You killed the Piped bot.
LOL I noticed just now - but it appears by @glassware explanation that it wasn't actually my link, but a patch that would have affected every link posted to which piped reacts
good riddance.
Looks like they commited a change to Piped bot two hours ago which accidentally removed the functionality to actually change the link. Whoops!
Do you have a name / user id of a piped bot developer? Because while we're at it, I think that bot should also avoid responding to itself - which would also prevent such a scenario completely.
Absolutely. I tried getting back into Usenet a few years ago and it was like Yahoo Answers.
