Huh?

Probably the easiest way to get to this Usenet newsgroup (its not a forum)
is through http://groups.google.com however because of a high level of spam
coming through from Google many servers and individual users block all posts
originating from there.

If you use Outlook or Windows Live for e-mail you can setup an account with
Eternal September or AIOE and access this group with your mail reader. If
you don't use those mail readers you can also use a piece of software called
Free Agent to access the same Usenet servers.

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but I get mine through my mail
service:
I am using outlook express and this is one of the newsgroups.
hope that is the info you need.

Hey Bucky
Go to http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php and check out Agent
and Agent APN Premium News Service. They used to have a Free Agent
program but I don't know if there is a free version anymore. The free
version had advertisements. I have used the paid version for many,
many years, you get updates for it when they are available. It is a
great news reader and can be used with any news service and multiple
news services, free or paid. It is also able to be used as an email
client. I only use it for a news reader cause I use Gmail or Eudora
for my emails. The APN for 12 gigs a month at $2.50 is a good deal
and very reliable.

Good luck

Using Outlook Expesss or other newss reader you can access a number
of free news servers.

Options for free news servers.

newsgate. xprivat.org

http://www.x-privat.org/international.php

Registration required. This server in now free. Text and some (few)
binaries. This server is faster than
individual.net but may lack some groups. Its binary completion should
not be depended upon.

News.aioe

http://news.aioe.org/

No registration required. Free server. Text only. Limit of 25 posts
per day.

news.eternal-september.org
http://www.eternal-september.org/

A free server, registration required.

"Apart from de.* (including de.alt.dateien.*) news.eternal-
september.orgcarries the Big 8, alt.* (approx. 8000 groups) and
several regional hierarchies (more than 200).

For tests, information and support for users of news.eternal-
september.orgthe local hierarchy eternal-september.* is open to
unregistered users, too. Retention is currently 1 year for de.*, 40
days for alt.* and 30 days for the Big 8 and other hierarchies."
*********************************************************************
************************
Albasani.net

http://albasani.net/

Like eternal-september, Albasani.net is free and requires
registration. Easy email registration.

�Do you have binary groups?

We have de.alt.dateien.misc and de.alt.dateien.weibsbilder, but none
of the big binary hierarchies.� See also
http://albasani.net/technical/cleanfeed.html.en#Binaries_Allowed

Some limits on cross posting across domains.
*****************************************************

Low Cost NNTP Newsgroup Service

Individual.net

http://news.individual.net/

Registration required. Price 10 Eros a year. No binaries. No sex
groups. No nonsense. This is a very dependable server for text. Spam
filtering is superior to most other servers I've used.

What me worry?
