    Whatever problems you are having will probably not be fixed. Start
    looking for an alternative way to read/post.




    This is indeed sad. In just a few years, and virtually single-handedly, RetroGuy build a web portal to usenet that rivalled nd ultimately replaced Deja News aka Google. "Single-handed", though, means it is probably over.

    If anyone out there is interested in web integration with usenet, the best thing they could do is offer RetroGuy's family $1 million for the software - he's laid a good foundation.



    A shame that Nova BBS seems defunct.

    Its probably no longer important. I know JLA FORUMS is adding more and more groups as they are requested.




    Good morning again MummyChunk, yes, JLA Forums is doing a great job keeping the Usenet newsgroups alive.

    I'm still hoping to see a few other Usenet newsgroups appear on JLA Forums, such as:

    alt.books.beatgeneration

    alt.tv.mash

    alt books.bukowski

    But I'm sure the JLA administrator will get to those Usenet newsgoups eventually.

    There are rumors that Nova BBS still exists, but that's apparently false information being spread by trolls such as NancyGene and Cujo.

    And so it goes.

    I was posting through it before. Go look at the headers. It will clearly show where the posts were coming from.




    Can you post a link to this Nova BBS page you claim exists?
