Well no, as the person who actually does own this forum, I would say that this use of the forum is not exactly what was envisioned.  The group has been kept online mostly for historical reference at this point, since as you say it's largely been abandoned.  But it would be good to keep any current posts consistent with the original intent of the group.  And the original intent of the group was to NOT post things that could be offensive to a fair number of people, or have web search engine filters identify this as an adult site, or even post things temporarily and then remove them later.

I will note that this forum is hosted on Nabble, and the folks in charge of Nabble have mentioned in the past few years that they might pull the plug, in which case this forum and every other forum hosted on Nabble will disappear.  As even they think that this form of communication is outdated and not popular enough to sustain a business.  So we're not alone here with the "abandoned forum" thing.  Social media has taken over, and that happened quite awhile ago.
