It still lives (as of last night, anyway), but the web gateway is completely hosed -- you have to use a newsreader. Expect it to go away completely at any time.
That's too bad. I tried to visit in order to post something in my newsgroup last month and was denied access to the gateway. Ever since I upgraded my computer in June 2005 and said good-bye to my beloved Netscape newsreader that I'd used since 1997, I haven't been using a newsreader. Most message boards these days are configured for the web, so I haven't needed it. And, alas, dm.net doesn't mean enough to me any more to do the set-up necessary to get in the door.
So, good-by DM net. It was a community I really enjoyed while I was part of it.
I'm the author of a bunch of books, including five Regency romances, a Marvel Comics superhero novel, The Stone War, a dark urban fantasy in which I blew up my home town, and Point of Honour and Petty Treason, the first two books in the adventures of Sarah Tolerance, Fallen Woman and Private Eye. I've also published a double-handful of SF and fantasy stories.

I haven't been able to get my newsreader to read news. Please convey my salutations and farewells, if the opportunity presents.

Will do, Mad.
I felt like I was delivering news of the fall of a city.
Will do, Jane.
