Anything Forums

I just paid €10 for one year of Usenet access, and I’m not sure why. (Before anyone says the obvious, my provider is text-only.) Incidentally, my test thread from tonight has the same subject line as my test thread from almost exactly a year ago. I swear I didn’t do that on purpose.

Does anyone here have any favorite newsgroups? I created a PayPal account for this, so I’d better use it.

How much is 10 euros in dollars?

9000 USD

No, I’m kidding. I was charged something like $16, counting the conversion fee and all. I’d prefer an American provider, but they all seem to cater toward binary newsgroups, making them much more expensive.

So let me get this straight your paying that much per month for a really old text based forum?

Per year!

I like the decentralized nature of Usenet. With good spam filtering and a score file, you’re left with some enlightening material, especially in the comp.* hierarchy.
