What about your servers in terms of newsgroups and users?
My server is focused on pl.* and alt.pl.* and I have some daily stats
(post count per group in these two hierarchies in the last 24 hours).
http://news.chmurka.net/#StatystykiTop15PL
A few pl.* groups are still active. The rest, including majority of
alt.pl.* groups, is more or less dead. But there's no spam there since
Google depeered itself (but, for example, all traffic on alt.pl.misc.samochody.gielda is automated, but I wouldn't necessarily
count it as spam -- it's a group for selling cars and someone just set up
some bot to post ads there).
When it comes to posters to pl.* and alt.pl.* and servers:
http://news.chmurka.net/#StatystykiTop15Serwerow
It counts unique Froms in the last 24 hours, per posting server. Seems my server contributes a major traffic (which is still only 20 unique Froms in
the last 24 hours).
If you're interested in archived stats in a more machine-friendly format (warning: large JSON):
http://news.chmurka.net/stats.php?json=all
When it comes to unique users -- I don't have stats for those who don't
have an account and only read anonymously (you need an account to post,
but you can read without one), but from those who do have an account:
- 397 registered users in total
- 165 never logged in (at least since 2023)
- 126 logged in at least once in 2026
By "logged in" I count successful login to nnrpd (authinfo).
The rest logged in last in 2025 or earlier (I run user stats since 2023).
