No. There's often very little on-topic in u.n.n.c because what is on-topic
is quite narrowly defined. The lack of on-topic has nothing to do with the
group having been trashed, which it hasn't.

You can complain about the noise level in u.n.n.c but you're a major cause
of that along with others who want to cause disruption by cross-posting
their off-topic crap there.

It's quite ironic that you should be complaining about Alopia's failure to
reign in what you call abuse while indulging in your off-topic
cross-posting. Shouldn't you be complaining to your own NSP about your own
abuse ?

I note you also made the unsupported claim that, "Altopia sells itself as
the NSP that allows its customers to nym-shift". Called on to prove that
claim I note you have failed to do so.
