I think the primary problem is that a lot of people were subscribed through twistedpair.ca, which was a redistributer of the list (i.e. you would subscribe to [email protected], and get the [email protected] mails). They're also the primary result when searching for "inet-access archives" on google. It appears that sometime in september, they got unsubscribed from inet-access, and as a result, people who were subscribed through them, and people who follow along through the archives (like myself), were given the impression it was completely dead. As for inet-access being more on-topic than NANOG, that's only because the scope of NANOG is much more narrow. On inet-access, you're only off topic if you're not talking about issues related to providing internet access. Another possible reason inet-access is more on-topic is because JC's ten times more dictatorial than Susan. She doesn't care if you've been posting for 7 years, if you annoy her, you're gone unless you do what she tells you to. But I'm bitter and biased...mea culpa.
