Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

    Yes. You need to pay a small amount but unless you plan on downloading many TBs of stuff the cost is really small. The speeds and lack of risk makes it worthwhile for me. I think I paid $5 for a 1 TB account and I can use the free level of access at my indexers without having to pay.

    Like I said in my original post, I wonder if we can get a provider to host a newsgroup for us for free?

      Where did you get this deal if you don’t mind me asking?

        I personally use frugalusenet for $4/pm, which is unlimited, but if I could find $5/1TB I would switch to that.

        Indexer I pay $1/pm for a big one and I have a free one that has less.

          Could you point me towards the free one? I just want a taste of usenet before I commit
