A few weeks ago I posted my list of dead indexers and said about 60. Yeah that was way off. Kept going through old archives and it's at 164 dead now, 45 still alive.

Then I thought why not do providers too, and that's also 164 dead. Same number, I counted twice, no idea. Oldest ones went under in 2003. Funniest thing I found was six providers closing in 2015 with the exact same goodbye about "16 years in the usenet business", so I guess it was one guy with a bunch of brands.

Both lists are here, dead ones are behind the "dead" button: indexers and providers (my site, no ads)

Still missing stuff for sure, especially early 2000s providers. If you remember one that's not there let me know and I'll add it. Also if you used any of the dead ones or know more about how they ended, feel free to drop it in the comments and I'll add it to the site.
