The Forteinc news server (
news.forteinc.com) has both the
old newsgroups such as "mozilla.support.thunderbird", and
the new newsgroups such as "alt comp.software.thunderbird".

The Mozilla news server (
news.mozilla.org) is still running.
The Mozilla news server will no longer _receive_ posts in
"mozilla.support.thunderbird" or "mozilla.support.firefox",
but at this time one is still able to read the old posts in
those newsgroups.
