Same reason.

1) ISPs are dropping support. There aren't many mediums that are less 
versatile than a newsgroup server that isn't running.

2) People starting new newsgroups or who think they have information of 
value don't start it on a newsgroup server, but on a web server where they 
can monetize it.
