I am sincerely curious.

The moderator announced his retirement in July 2013.

According that font of all knowledge, Wikipedia, the last release of 
plan9 was in early 2015.

With dozens of dead newsgroups, why this one?  There is no hint in the 
MVI that there is any interest in this OS, much less in a newsgroup.
