"A Cleveland-based user group says it's been pushed offline by the
Internet"

It seems to me that the Internet is the natural habitat for a user group.

Consider the Midrange Lists. As an online community, we could be considered a (huge) de-facto user group: after all, we're users, we're a group, and our raison d'etre as a group is to put our heads together to help each other solve problems. If there are any other requirements for the definition, I haven't heard of any.

And likewise, the local Linux user group has a far greater footprint through its list server than it does through its (almost) monthly meetings in an engineering lab at CSU Fullerton.
