Who's still using Newsbin after all these years?

Just wanted to say thanks for keeping up with the maintenance required to adapt to changes to usenet over the years. It's not been perfect, but it works. The UI doesn't bother me like some.

I can't imagine this project brings in much income, so again, thanks for keeping things workable in the light of all the FOSS projects out there.

It occasionally saddens me with the way Usenet is going but, nothing last forever. It's been a good run.

I've been working on RC4 recently. Wanted to put it up last week but someone reported autopar problems I'm looking at.

I still use it every days. Usenetserver has about 10 years of files on it. I haven't seen them all yet...

Another daily user, here. Have been for almost 20 years. Looking forward to the next 20!

Thanks Quade and it saddens me the way the internet has evolved in general, not just usenet. Automation is nice, but I also miss the days of browsing headers looking for something new to try.

When I'm bored I'll browse the Newsbin MOTD archive for nostalgia. Looking back I wish I had posted here more and lurked less. Oh well. Cheers

I've been using Newsbin Pro almost every day since sometime during the year of 1995. The security department at my internet provider once called asking "Are you trying to download the entire internet?".

Easynews has more than 16 years of files. "I haven't seen them all yet..."
