Do you have a question?  DECUServe is available.

 

23 years ago, DECUS US Chapter started the online DECUServe system. The objective was to support mostly-technical online discussions and mutual support for hardware and software of interest to DECUS members. A second objective was to provide a friendly community atmosphere for other discussion topics.

DECUServe still provides those services, and more.  Technical content includes over 50 technical conferences (200,000 notes), has never lost an answer, and includes the archives of Larry Kilgallen's Pageswapper system and the OA SIG's OASIS system.  Technical quality (signal) is high, responses to new questions are usually rapid, and unwanted
off-topic stuff (noise) is notably absent.

In 1987, the community technical interests emphasized PDP-11 and VAX hardware, associated operating systems, and application software. All of that is still available.  Today, about half the discussions are OpenVMS-centric, and a lot of other interests (Security, WWW, PCs of various flavors, Windows, UNIX, various hobbies and interests...) have
been added.
