Usenet is still alive!

Tell me anons, why aren't you using the usenet protocol like we oldfags did in the good ol' 90s? Still the best platform for newsgroups/boards/filesharing imo. Yes, it's still active, and it's still my only source for downloading stuff, bc of it's speed. And who the fuck is still monitoring usenet in 2018?

It's plain text you fool.

Usenet? Very intuitive. Thanks user.

I browse sometimes, but it's mostly spam and small namefag circlejerk.
Post groups you think are worth seeing.
Or at least post free servers that won't reveal your IP to everyone.

This picture makes me inexplicably happy. Thanks

aah irc... when you could ask bots to send you war3z. thx for the memories.

free servers unfortunately suck these days. had an easynews-subscription for the last 15 yrs. desu i only use binary-groups nowadays.

I use to run a larger ISP out west; lol the amount of fucking fileservers we had to support alt.binaries was comical. I never told any of the suits but the reality is the 200,000 budget to support news was 99% supporting piracy. Retention was everything so... every pirate and or chickhawk looking for porn in Vancouver knew we had the shit

Usenet is still the best. Don't tell the normies. They will ruin it.

thanks for your service! appreciate it.

Yes who could resist it.

I remember some mindfuck on alt.conspiracies.

love me some newsleecher

Maybe I should start using a Win95 pc again

Usenet is dead... dcma takedowns almost as fast as they are uploaded.

If I understand correctly Usenet is just monthly pay to download service now? What is the actual Usenet then?

>Oz bait
Y'all just moved up to DSL like two years ago, quit fucking around.

flonk flonk flonk

>A tiny square on my phone screen has more resolution than that PC/monitor.

Alt.binaries.pictures.children.erotica.hardcore

Those were the days

Because usenet as delivered by your ISP (if they even do so anymore) is so fucking crippled I might as well get my shit from facebook.
And who the fuck pays for a server that handles binaries?

How did you find this, they were all suppose to have been destroyed.

a pocket-size computer with hd resolution? who would ever imagined that in 1998? not in my wettest dreams, my friend.

The best resolution is 1024x768.
Anything more is pure garbage.
