Switching from dialup to broadband meant losing access to Usenet, via news.demon.co.uk. Which means no late night lyrics posting sprees on alt.punk.
They were pointless, childish and pretty stupid. I kind of miss them. Google groups just ain’t the same, somehow. Anyone know a good NNTP server?
Try Newsparrot for a list of free news servers. Not sure what the group coverage will be like though. Personally I find it worth paying 30 quid a year for a 10Gb/month Claranews account, it’s rock solid and carries binary groups.
easy one, dude.

there used to be tons of nntp servers that were pretty open. To be fair, I haven’t tried this list in a couple of years, but give it a shot.
