I can't find an MWI that came after the group was/is defunct.
https://comp.lang.c.moderated.narkive.com/

I also can't find it on the big-8 website. Maybe some older people know
it, I wasn't using Usenet before 2021.

We could, but if there is no person who wants to moderate it, it will
be deleted. comp.lang.c exists and is being used as an unmoderated
alternative.
