I just received notification that the service will close in two years time and that, as of now, no new registration will be possible.

I will have to find an alternative!

I've just had the same notification. Is there anywhere as good as they
have been over the past 20+ years?

I don't remember when my account was opened but it looks as if it will be re410/month rather than per year with current top rated providers...

IrCOve not been notified yet but I also have accounts with Eternal-September and Solani. Both seem reasonable alternatives and are free but with
donations accepted.

I do have an account with Enternal September but found they do miss the occasional thread/post and generally hiccup, unlike the German server or
Easy News that Sara used.

It doesn't claim to be perfect and it's free. I find it to be perfectly acceptable but if it doesn't reach your expected standard you can
always ask for your money back.
