Either the newserver isn't accepting messages for this group, or
this group is seeing a dramatic lack of use.

If common paths aren't maintained, they can easily get
swallowed up by the encroaching jungle....

This group has never been particularly active IMO.

Let's face it. Syntax questions are generally asked by newbies.

There aren't many newbies using a language that is no longer commercially available.

Most of the questions here are one of the following:
1. Have nothing to do with syntax, as such.
2. Have nothing to do with VB Classic
a. Asking about that _other_ VB (that shall be nameless)
b. ...VBScript
c. ...T-SQL
d. ...VBA for Excel or Word

Most of the remaining questions are probably
about .net, but the questioner didn't say anything to tip it off.

This NG ought to be named "microsoft.public.vb.misposted"

I've noticed MORE new VB6 users since MS stopped support. I
believe a lot of VB6 programmers moved on leaving companies
with VB6 products needing maintenance, a job taken on by
people new to VB.
