    Hi folks

    I am having a change in personal circumstances in the coming months that means I will be unable to keep my hobby NNTP server running for the medium term.

    I wanted to signal to all the systems I am peered with that my plan is to shut down news.bbs.nz on 31 July (New Zealand time)

    I do intend to restart the server down the track but don't see this happening for around 18-24 months after I shutter things soon.

    I do hope to see you all again in Usenet again soon and thank everyone who has peered with my system over the many years we've be running :)

    Best, Paul


    Best of luck, and stay safe!
