It's possible that your nntp server has a short article lifespan set.

But you are probably right, there's pretty little traffic in this 
newsgroup. Maybe because there aren't many decent and interesting new 
strategy games coming out? Or maybe too many of us have hit that 
Alzheimer's age and wandered off with a slightly dazed look on their 
face and not found their way back. What do I know.

I can say that rec.arts.sf.written is still very active, if i go away 
for a week or two I may come back to 2000+ new articles. 
But yes, it's pretty slow in the gaming ngs. {sigh}. Would be nice if 
some decent stuff was published. It seems that all the corporate suits 
are interested in is pushing FPS-style [insert franchise here]#27 and 
don't go in for producing new or innovative things. I on the other hand 
don't care one whit for that fps stuff. Arena was about the last one I 
spent a lot of time with.
