You seem to be describing the usenet newsgroup alt.culture.hawaii which still exist.

Re: Usenet newsgroups
How do you access that newsgroup? I remember years ago belonging to a couple when I lived in Texas...I think one was soc.culture.hawaii or something like that. I remember Iz was a member and regular contributor to one of those groups.

Re: Usenet newsgroups
The other group is soc.culture.hawaii which is moderated while alt.culture.hawaii is not. As far as accessing newsgroup it depends, some people use the google web site (I know you can read it but no idea on how to post), other use software that allows you to access the newgroup directly, and others like myself use a ssh (or telnet) client to access your ISP and then use pine to access the newsgroups.Comment

Re: Usenet newsgroups
[...]When I was there, there was a couple of guys always getting into arguments. "Where's the proof!" "I have proof." "Then prove it!" On and on. Was getting kind of monotonous and I just kinda faded away. Sorry OT.Ooooooh...long ago memories!!! <wave to Lurkah!> Maybe HT should have a coming out party for all of the former Hawaii newsgroup posters...whoever you are! At Gordon Biersch, perhaps?[...]...I think one was soc.culture.hawaii or something like that. I remember Iz was a member and regular contributor to one of those groups.
IIRC, Iz participated in alt.music.hawaiian...even gave props to the 'cyber ohana' on one of his CDs. And, the argument? Nah, there was no argument. That was a full blown war! Those guys chased each other all over the internet...and the island! It was a cyber soap opera of epic proportions!

At Gordon Biersch, perhaps?The last time I was at Gordon Biersch, I shared a table with J. Barrett, M. J. Wise and the late Gino Lancette while listening to BB Shawn (Shawn Ishimoto) at his first "No Boundaries" CD release party, and that was many years ago.IIRC, Iz participated in alt.music.hawaiian...even gave props to the 'cyber ohana' on one of his CDs.TutuSue, remember this from IZ's very first online attempts at writing haiku?

The Hui Lupo wolfpack. Kimo, is that the group you had in mind? IZ also had his own chatroom called IzChat that was, and is still semi-active btw, sponsored by Rabbett's hotspotshawaii.com website.Comment

Re: Usenet newsgroups
"Woof! Woof!" The Pueo days...which were also the Nay-ten days! IIRC, the haiku requirement was the initiation into an email group. I remember Iz participating for awhile then a certain member caused major havoc and was banned. Eventually Hui Lupo was 'organized'! By then Iz had had enough. Too bad. He was such a wonderful addition. He used to tell me..."The wes' side is the bes' side."...in reference to where I live!
I had to work so missed Shawn's release party but did end up with the CD, which Nancy gave me at the party where I met you!
