One week, 9 different contributors to this thread, not very good. But there are groups that are still quite active and interesting, so why not this one? To be honest I think that theory is currently unfashionable, as are taking a long-term view and trying to do things right! However, there are things that are acting to keep the Usenet infrastructure alive (i.e. keeping enough servers running), I don't see either "hobbled" or "killed off".

On the other hand I'm not sure that the conversations/squabbles _do_ still go on anywhere.
