 what usenet is?
 
 ayashii.net and 0chan.vip are two competing attempts to clone USENET in WWW

 │└This BBS isn't distributed or decentralized in any way, so not really. 
 │ │Multich is little closer due to its decentralized nature, but it's 
 │ │still a far cry from  "Usenet on the web"

   Usenet: /yoos´net/, /yooz´net/, n.
   
       [from ‘Users' Network’; the original spelling was USENET, but the 
   mixed-case form is now widely preferred] A distributed bboard (bulletin 
   board) system supported mainly by Unix machines. Originally implemented 
   in 1979--1980 by Steve Bellovin, Jim Ellis, Tom Truscott, and Steve 
   Daniel at Duke University and the University of North Carolina, it has 
   swiftly grown to become international in scope and is now probably the 
   largest decentralized information utility in existence. As of late 
   2002, it hosts over 100,000 newsgroups and an unguessably huge volume 
   of new technical articles, news, discussion, chatter, and flamage every 
   day (and that leaves out the graphics...).
   
       By the year the Internet hit the mainstream (1994) the original 
   UUCP transport for Usenet was fading out of use — almost all Usenet 
   connections were over Internet links. A lot of newbies and journalists 
   began to refer to “Internet newsgroups” as though Usenet was and 
   always had been just another Internet service. This ignorance greatly 
   annoys experienced Usenetters.
