Wait, isn't the reverse true?
With the usenet disappearing from easy and cheap ISP access, don't we lessen the number of people who do nothing but spam?
Sure one can use Google Groups and set up a few spam posts, but that's not as convenient as having a Verizon NNTP server for free and automate your evil doing.
And people who love the usenet and want alt.* can still use Google Groups or other free sources to catch up on their favorite groups, right?
Am I way off base?

Anybody have an idea what games like WOW, TF2, COD4 etc. consume in bandwidth while playing on an average server, say 15 peers?
