very!!!

long many years ago there was soc.culture.nepal and that was addictive as well.

actually before that there was TND (the Nepal Digest) which was worth the wait every month or so.

and others that have faded into history are the chats in nepalsearch.com, some blog like feature hosted by sohos.net out of Nebraska (don't remember the name now... about 1999-2000).

gbnc.org, the mother of sajha.com, was started in 1998 Aug/Sep as a forum for Boston tira_ko_haal_khabar.

Anything interactive, relevant, meaningful and of perceived positive-value is addictive. As much as khoppi was addictive in nepal school days.

Deep ko katha (the first storyteller of Sajha.com) remains addictive.
