FAQ
How long are articles stored on your news server?
Instead of having cast-iron retention times, we instead have disk space limits for different (groups of) hierarchies. When these are full, the oldest articles are dropped to make room. This means that for many hierarchies, our news server can act as a useful archive, keeping articles for months.
What newsgroups to you carry?
We carry a wide variety of text-only newsgroups. Most of alt.*, the big-8 (comp.*, rec.*, sci.*, news.*, humanities.*, talk.*, soc.*, misc.*), uk.*, in fact, just about everything you could want. We also carry our own hierarchy, gradwell.*.
What if you dont carry the newsgroup I want?
If we don't carry the newsgroup you want, you can request it by contacting us.
