| Site Information |
This site is an intended as an easy to use interface to Usenet newsgroups using a forum format.
Many people do not have access to news feeds, find setting up a news reader complicated, or are not aware of newsgroups or how to find them. This site is intended as a helpful resource for those trying to access these newsgroups.
This website has no control over the content of Usenet itself.
Because of the nature of Usenet, many of the posting functions commonly available at internet forums have been disabled here. Image tags, visual smilies, and post icons will not work; and BB tags (tags typically available at vBulletin sites) will be filtered before being posted to Usenet.
Here is a page on Usenet Etiquette.
Important things that you should be aware of:
- This website has no control over the content of Usenet itself.
- You cannot edit or delete posts you make on Usenet. Once made, a post is permanent. Any edits made locally at these forums will not affect Usenet.
- New messages are not downloaded continuously; rather, they are downloaded at regular intervals, typically every 15 minutes. New posts made at this site will be uploaded to the newsgroup at these times as well.
- In general, Usenet posts are not moderated, either originally on Usenet or at these forums.
- It is not appropriate to "bump" threads on Usenet.
In Usenet, any reply you make here to an existing thread will be threaded underneath the post you are quoting. By default, the first post of the thread is quoted.
Nicknames/handles on Usenet are not necessarily unique. Multiple people on Usenet might have the same nickname.
