September 25, 2007 Some interesting news; seems Yahoo is starting to take the role of 'Internet police' as they've decided that newsgroup subscription sites are no longer acceptable in their paid-sponsor programs. If you do a search for newsgroups, usenet, alt binaries, etc. (any newsgroup-related search term) you'll see that paid ads (usually seen on sidebars) no longer link to newsgroup providers. We suspect that Yahoo (YSM Marketing) has blocked other types of sites as well from their ad programs. It's no surprise they're No. 2 in searches worldwide; heading for 3rd place with policies like this... :-) [send comments]

April 5, 2007 Bear with us as we fine tune our spam blocking in the forum; seems many spammers have started using message boards to try to get links to their junk. For the spammers reading this; don't bother adding your shit posts to the forum; we're removing them and contacting your respective ISPs. [send comments]

February 13, 2007 Unique hierarchies link now included under the resources main link. Has many good listings of many popular (and/or defunct) newsgroups related to a specific region. Also added the Individual Newsgroup sites page; we didn't even know several of those listed even existed ;-) [send comments]

January 23, 2007 Added yenc.org and MIT Usenet Address Service; both in the resources section. It's interesting in our 'net travels how many newsgroup-related sites have gone away, yet the domains have been scooped up by adsense advertisers showing nothing but CPC ads on them now - what a bloody waste.

January 18, 2007 Amazing how many Usenet newsgroup -related sites there are out on the Internet today. Unfortunately we're finding that many are out-of-date, have bad outbound links, or are just plain not useful ;-) If you have any newsgroup-site suggestions please let us know of them.

November 27, 2006 Back from Thanksgiving and putting together more resources. Since there's so many resources available for Usenet trolls, we've decided to separate it out (see subtopics of Resources). [send comments]

November 17, 2006 Added more reviews on the resources page. Some really good information on dealing with trolls. [send comments]

November 13, 2006 Technical difficulties resolved with message board. It'll be used for support, questions, comments -- anything related to newsgroups. It should be fully operational at this time. [send comments]

November 10, 2006 Forum still not working; appears to be problem at webhost and the installation of phpBBS. Will announce when ready. [send comments]

November 9, 2006 Site is still under development; the forum will be online very soon. We need to ensure it prevents the automated spamming we've seen lately on message boards. Stay tuned. [send comments]

October 20, 2006 We want to translate this site into other languages. If you can help us translate this site (not using automation; it has to be your native language) we're willing to barter services. Contact us if you can help. [send comments]
