Both working for me a minute ago. Only difference seems to be in a
couple of lines at the top of the page.
Yes, both working for me too now.
i didn't realize there were both .Org and .Com
Maybe someone fixed NovaBBS ???
__________________________
NovaBBS GUI is ... better in letting me see many posts (of the Thread) on
the same page (vertically) ----- because of this, if both are
available,
i'd use ths first (or more often)
Also, i like being able to go quickly easily to other Xposted NGs.

Another way that Newsgrouper is better is ... it lets me X-post to
several NGs (not just 3).
but when I Xpost to more than 4 (or so?), some Anti-Spam filter kicks
in.
being able to enter Extra blank lines
Just now, NovaBBS said:
The Message Server rejected the message:
but it got posted (and propagated) anyway
NovaBBS has been down for 2 or 3 consecutive days.

Yes, looks like it finally died.
There is a new project at https://rocksolid-us.pugleaf.net/hierarchies
which says it's aiming to be the successor to rslight/novaBBS. Right now
it seems to only have very old postings online, but once they get all the historical data loaded it may be a useful option.
try https://novabbs.pugleaf.net
page is live and has last 12 month of retention
new articles appear every 5-10 minutes.
@Colin
here is the list of newsgroups novabbs carried: https://pugleaf.net/groups_www.novabbs.com.txt
maybe you want to add them to your site if missing.
Well that's only 497 groups. Newsgrouper provides access to all the
groups on eternal-september, currently 26355, and including all those
listed
