They will all be "gone" from the Microsoft news server by November.
MS is getting out of Usenet, and you will have to use the Microsoft web
interface, or use another news server.

Thanks, I had a look to see if anyone else was asking the same question and
missed that one. It's a pity as I feel this system is better than the MS
Answers replacement.

Thanks Sunny,

It seem that none of the ISP's love the usenet either as I've noticed that
many Australian ISP's have been down grading there support for newsgroups in
recent years. Many have dropped a range of groups, particularly binary
groups or a large proportion of the posts don't appear, particularly if they
are posted from overseas. One of my favorites are some military and aviation
binary groups and hardly any pictures now appear, however I still see lots
of posts from people commenting one them, so they never make via my ISP.
I've complained, and the support people in India or wherever don't seem to
even know what newsgroups are?

I guess I'll have to pay for one of the private ones like giganes or alike,
even thought I thought I was already paying the ISP for this service.

Regards....Chris

You can still access the groups on some non-MS servers such as Eternal

It's full of SPAM, though.
TY, Bruce!!! We're in abject depression over this. All of "you" always
upheld "Microsoft's" actions -- now, I'm not so sure! :0(

What do you mean 'upheld'? I post to the new forums, but I prefer the NNTP
newsgroups and do not like to see their demise.
