According to what Google shows one the newsgroup comp.lang.c++.moderated the last post is almost a year old now (it is from 23th May 2016).

I wrote a post myself almost a week ago and it wasn't published so far.

At the same time newsgroup comp.lang.c++ is still active (with posts from today).

Is the comp.lang.c++.moderated officially closed now? Is there any replacement for it (other than comp.lang.c++)?

  • Not a question for stack overflow. – arboreal84 May 16 '17 at 05:14

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it isn't a question about programming. – Weak to Enuma Elish May 16 '17 at 05:21
  • Where should it be asked then? – Adam Badura May 16 '17 at 05:31

    I think the question could qualify for the "software tools commonly used by programmers" scope listed by http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic. – Adam Badura May 16 '17 at 05:33

    Why not ask comp.lang.c++? – jotik May 16 '17 at 05:42
  • @jotik Good point! Why haven't I thought about that? It seems I'm used to much to StackOverflow... Anyway I did ask just now: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c++/OGoy0g1IdmQ – Adam Badura May 16 '17 at 05:47

    I only just spotted this question now: I'm, well was, one of the moderators of comp.lang.c++.moderated and, yes, the group - sadly - dead. Activity kind of went down over some period and eventually we lost the ability to inject new articles. We weren't even able to post a final "Thank you all for a great time!" post. – Dietmar Kühl Jun 25 '20 at 08:12

As suggested by jotik in comments to the question I asked the same question on comp.lang.c++: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c++/OGoy0g1IdmQ

From answers there it seems that *.moderated groups in general are kind of closed as the moderation framework failed.
