I think many of us are still out here, but it’s my impression that “newsgroups” have become victims of other internet venues, such as Facebook. There are subgroups on FB for many of the plants which used to have their own newsgroups, in which information was exchanged mainly by text (and before high speed internet, some even restricted the posting of photos). The new groups have become mainly place for people to post photos of their plants and perhaps ask an occasional question. This is all well and good, but truthfully, I miss the more personal conversations with the likes of Wilbert Hetterscheid, Dewey Fisk, Dr. Croat, and others too numerous to mention.
The Facebook group is: Planet Aroid, at. https://www.facebook.com/groups/planetaroid/?ref=bookmarks

However a more comprehensive is: The International Aroid Society at http://www.aroid.org/society/

And, of course, with the expansion of the internet, more specialized has become available for many of the plants we know and love.
