It looks like nettime became a thing unto itself (there must be a fancy 
name for that.) Due to its longevity, this was bound to happen at some 
point, like in biological evolution, when random amino acids get 
together and some combination survives, it lingers on, and given enough 
time, you get life. Nettime survived bunch of crisis, and it won't be 
sympathetic to being killed ( http://www.roma1.infn.it/~anzel/answer.html ).

The point being, nettime is more interesting in itself than through 
external references that are 'discussed'. Several thousands of 
moderately sapient people can be a formidable force. Witness the traffic 
surges after termination announcements (I think Ted & Felix are doing 
this for entertainment), or when undesirables need to be condemned 
(Morlock etc.) These surges are beyond any traffic related to externalities.
