Hello,

I found out today the net news service I use is being decomissioned and
it looks unlikely I'll be having access to usenet in the future.

Any good online places/IRC channels/forums to meet other lispers?

Thanks.

There are some free and cheap NNTP servers that carry comp.lang.lisp,
such as eternal-september.org and news.individual.net.

Freenode #lisp is an IRC channel for Common Lisp.

Thank you very much for the info! There aren't many lispers in my area and
having people to talk to about it is a good thing.

Thank you.

Seconded (thirded, I guess, since there are already two of them),
