Coming out of imposed lurkdom to ask if anyone else has heard from
their NTTP provider(s) that usenet is closing down the entire
rec.crafts. textiles (.whatever, in this case .yarn) ??
I received 4 notices yesterday, from each of the NTTP servers I use.
Back into imposed lurkdom,
Noreen

No, but it wouldn't surprise me. There's no money to be made off of
us. All the pr0n and warez leeches are where the money is these days:
binaries or bust is the new news services motto.

Roadrunner just throttles NNTP speed to force people elsewhere. Last
time I bothered to check binary groups are retained for 48 hours,
putative text-only groups for 14 days.

+++++++++++++

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

It wouldn't be "usenet" closing it down, however, just some providers
not carrying the feeds anymore. Any change to the usenet hierarchy has
to be approved by a vote, doesn't it? At least that was the case for
many years of my participation, which began almost 20 years ago.

I use news.individual.net and I haven't heard anything about closing
r.c.t.*.

Haven't heard any such thing. Are sure these messages aren't spoofed? Could
the ol' tr**ls be back?

Maybe some servers are dropping them. I use the one out of Berlin, and
I haven't received any such notice.
