I guess some posters here have adequate SPAM filtering and don't see what I see in Google Groups, but at this point, every thread on the first page is SPAM, except for the very last one. Not sure how many that is, maybe 25?

The only other group I've been posting in is sed, which is a seriously crap group anyway. That one has as much SPAM, but more valid postings... well, depending on how you define "valid" postings. A large percentage of the normal posters like to talk trash about any old subject that comes to mind.

Anyway, with this new infusion of so much SPAM, I will be giving up on usenet. This is just insane.

Your post above hasn't made it to eternal-september so perhaps it may too
have joined the google-groups boycott.

Usenet is taking action by cutting google-groups. That's all you need to do.

Some users are cutting google-groups, not sure of any servers doing so.

news.eternal-september.org, news.i2pn2.org and chmurka.net are working pretty hard filtering the spam now. e-s has temporarily blocked google-groups, but it is temporary.

Instead of giving up on Usenet, just give up on google groups (op) and use a filtered server.

I've never heard of such a group. Are you sure you're not confusing usenet
with the googlegroups message boards ? If "sed" means the Unix stream editor
then the appropriate newsgroup is comp.unix.shell .

You are definitely not talking about comp.unix.shell .

Any reason you can't switch to using a newsreader ? In any case ,
comp.lang.forth is not dying. If users who access the group through
googlegroups decide to give up on it (instead of start using a newsreader) ,
it will be unfortunate but the group will carry on without them.

In Google Groups, reporting SPAM posts only deletes them from your own view. Everyone has to delete the SPAM posts for themselves.

Given that you use Google Groups, certainly Google knows, and they get
revenue by serving you advertisements in addition to the group's
contents. They may also get revenue from selling data about you.

I wonder if that server allows for properly formatted code in the posts
(like using some kind of „code” tags, or similarly), and doesn't misformat
it (which GG server does)?
That alone would be quite encouraging.

Properly formatted is relative. For Usenet, properly formatted is plain text, so no, the site does not support bbcode or html.

It does use monospaced fonts, so things should align vertically, which is nice for sharing code or whatever.

Not at all.

Which is proper formatting for Usenet. It even decodes the
quoted-printable misfeature that Zbig posted (probably without
knowing, just by using Google Groups; I wonder if the UTF-8 quotes
(which I replaced with ASCII ") are his doing or another misfeature of
Google Groups). If you want to see what his article looks like in a
client that is unaware of quoted-printable (like mine, or
al.howardknight.net), take a look at
<http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=169883960600>.

You have never been served advertisements by Google, ever? Note that
a lot of the advertisements on non-Google web services are served by
Google.

Data that they determine from what you read and what you write. There
is a reason why Google Groups now requires signing in to an account
even if you only want to read.

I have used it decades ago (when it came out of the ashes of dejanews)
for looking up old postings. It became increasingly broken (as in: I
did not find a significant part of the postings I wanted to find,
despite having its Message-Id) and painful over time, and, of course,
once there was al.howardknight.net and www.novabbs.com, there has been
no reason to go there. And now that Google Groups does not let me do
anything without signing in, I obviously don't use it.

Ah, I assumed the question to be whether one could post html style messages. Yes, it supports decoding quoted-printable and base64. For posting, it's really designed for plain text.

"Properly formatted" is too general. The complaint about googlegroups is more
specific : a few months ago it started breaking code indentation. So someone
would post not using googlegroups something like

block1
code
block2
more code
block3
even more code
end block
end block
end block

and when someone replied through googlegroups , the above would be quoted as

>block1
>code
>block2
>more code
>block3
>even more code
>end block
>end block
>end block

.It has nothing to do with fonts or other issues of formatting. I don't know
if googlegroups still does that.

I think that the issue with quoted-printable is that people who post
through googlegroups type their messages in a browser window and only press
<enter> when changing a paragraph. This results in long logical lines. The
relevant RFC gives a "SHOULD" that physical lines should not be above a
certain number of octets. I don't remember how long but it is below 100
octets. So the googlegroups interface obeys that SHOULD and breaks up longer
lines to physical lines which do not exceed the limit and uses the line
continuation feature of quoted-printable to indicate what the logical lines
should be. This I consider correct design : preserve the logical lines as the
user typed them. It is the users who should press <enter> every 75 characters
or so instead of only when they want to change paragraphs. This way it will
also avoid very long lines even with clients which can decode
quoted-printable .

By the way , Anton , didn't you use to use emacs ? emacs can certainly
handle quoted-printable .Why have you switched to xrn ? Is it even
maintained ?

I hadn't noticed the development you mention in your last sentence. It
turns out that it's not as bad as that. If you already have a URL to a
thread , you can access it. For example I can read
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.forth/u93Qrmr_sLc using
w3m .But just trying to access the group , I get a message that you
need javascript enabled to sign in and it's the same when I have w3m
pretend to be firefox. So another turn for the worse for googlegroups
it seems. I wonder when they are going to shut it down completely.

I also tried
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.misc/C-sKw5qsUII .I saved
a copy of this in May 2021 and my copy has both Bjarne Stroustrup and
Alexander Stepanov posting but when I go to the thread now with w3m
I don't see any Stroustrup posts. It could be that w3m plays less
nice with the current state of googlegroups or it could be that some
content has been removed for unkwown reasons.

Nope. I can use w3m to access https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth
and https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth/c/TwHq81HHz8Y (this thread)
just fine ; no signing in is needed ; also no cookies and no javascript since
w3m doesn't support it. The only problem is that the code indentation in
<v7=8GPJ8Iq...@bongo-ra.co> is removed.

It's not about octets. The classical recommendation was to limit the
line length to about 70 characters, so that, with a few levels of
quoting, you do not exceed 80, which is not only the width of
classical text terminals, but also the width of the windows that many
people use to read Usenet; and that width is probably related to the
recommendation to limit the line length in books to 75 characters,
because with longer lines it becomes harder to find the next line.

>So the googlegroups interface obeys that SHOULD and breaks up longer

No, Google Groups does not obey the recommendation in any way.

If the stuff is decoded by a Usenet client that knows Q-P, the
resulting lines are hundreds of characters long, which is against the
recommendation. If the line is quoted in a followup, where should the
quote character ">" go? There typically is only one ">" at the start
of the line. A reader of the followup who uses a client that does
some kind of line-breaking will typically not see ">" on the
continuation lines, and will have a harder-than necessary time
figuring out who wrote what.

It's worse if there is a followup by a user with a Usenet client that
does not know Q-P. Then the Q-P line breaks in the middle of words
are preserved in the followup, and on the next followup by someone
using Google Groups, each quoted line is split into two lines, with
the second of these lines consisting of only a few characters. So a
word may be split into three lines at that point, and even more after
another round of followups. The result is totally unreadable, on both
sides. Q-P is a bad idea.

If google provides an interface that encourages people to write very
long lines, then their client should be doing the line breaking by
inserting newlines (not Q-P stuff) on posting. The better alternative
would be to provide an interface that encourages line lengths
according to the convention.

And it certainly should not be using Q-P for Usenet. Q-P was
introduced for mail because some mail transports are not 8-bit clean
and cannot handle lines longer than x octets (and here octets are
relevant). Usenet has been 8-bit-clean since forever, and the
justification for Q-P has not held for Usenet. And, as explained
above, it does not work for Usenet.

I have used xrn for three decades and have never used Gnus. I have
used emacs for editing since 1989. xrn 10.11 has been released a few
months ago.

That's a nice improvement compared to the state of Google Groups that
I remember. In <2012Jul1...@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at> (from,
obviously, 2012) I reported that Google Groups requires JavaScript to
view a Google Groups link to some discussion. Maybe the competition
from novabbs and al.howardknight.net has inspired them to reconsider
their course.

It's very clever. OTOH GG shouldn't be messing with Usenet posts and simply
display as received. One could say the same for Thunderbird reader...

Read my lips. I've never seen an ad in GG. Not that I recall. Did they used to serve ads a decade or more ago? I know they've gone through several iterations of "improvements", but I don't ever recall seeing an ad. Where would they put them?

You are suggesting that if I post that all Jews should be killed, they will serve ads to me for swastika armbands or something? I guess you are saying they track the data and report there were 1273 such posts in October, to advertisers who want to track demographics? Since the info is not linked to identifying information, according to the terms of service, I don't really care, but I find it a reach to think they are analyzing GG post the way NSA might.

Why is signing in a big deal. How are they supposed to let you make posts, unless they have your info for the post? I have a separate login for GG. I've never seen it cross contaminated with any of my other Google logins.

Yes , they had ads in the 2000s .I don't know when they stopped. From what I
remember , on the left of the screen you had the newsgroups content and on
the right the ads.

I've heard of other websites which copy usenet content where they intersperse
vertically the ads with the posts. From the descriptions , it would be
something like

post
advertisement
post
advertisement
.
.
.

I don't think that googlegroups ever did actually require javascript .
I remember there was a period when it said that it required it but if
I had w3m pretend to be firefox , googlegroups was working fine.
Google fell in my appreciation back then doing stupid tricks like that.

AFAICS c.l.f. is about to become a dead horse.

Even before the current flood of spam on Google's servers,
uncivilised tussle between some "very smart" guys has become
dominant anyway.

Exchange of technical ideas has become rare. The usefulness
and fun of c.l.f. is tending towards zero.

Those same guys now tussling on FB is definitely an improvement.

I see no spam on novabbs.com, but the number of postings
is very low (I guess most were coming in from GG).

It's too early to say that the number of
really interesting postings is dropping.

I am using a work-around that is not too much of a hassle. In Google Groups (in a web browser) I scan the page for "real"
posts and then tag them by clicking on "star" (far right column). Then I just select the
"Starred conversations" option in the left sidebar. ONLY starred topics are shown.

I note that CLF in Google groups is spam-free again.
Maybe they turned filtering off to drive users out,
preparing for completely stopping groups in February.

Turning-off filtering was necessary to support their claim:

"Much of the content being disseminated via Usenet today is binary (non-text)
file sharing, which Google Groups does not support, as well as spam."

as unsubstantiated as it was.

Yep, I just sent them a nice letter, suggesting they hire a new team and buy out the narkive guy with his excellent software. Seriously. I had to do a number of extra moves to trick groups to give me a reply to your post, and on the account I use, on phone, and the text window keeps disappearing by repositioning as I type. It's ridiculous. Imagine if they could covert a descent newsgroup reader C software to a JavaScript wrb app?
