Why does this usenet now have no topics?



Wan



usenet has THOUSANDS of topics....

This group, however, is pretty active .. I pull a good 20 new headers twice a day here...

It might be his newsgroup server. Suggest he try one of the free ones.

I am using a free one, and they all disappeared except for this one!

I use the usenet available through Google (who now own the master archives).

formatting link
then click on Groups. and .... You have to register with Google to be able to post (no big deal unless you're posting on one of "THOSE" totally inappropriate groups like .alt.sex.binary.model_airplanes..... GD&R)

I didn't check, but an earlier postof Wan's suggests he's using google groups to view this group. Probably some article retrieval issue as is known to happen from time to time with google

I am using a free one, and they all disappeared except for this one!

So I'm not the only one where all the other topics have disappeared. Do you folks in this thread see any other topics? I clicked onto (Older Topics) and it said this usenet have no topics and told me to be the first one to post here.

Wierd?

I see the anomaly myself by visiting Google.

It may be that even though I've seen lots of new POSTS in the last few days, they've all been in old THREADS (what Google calls "topics," I believe).

On the right-hand side of the Google page, I see "Active Older Topics." It's true that when I click on the "Older Topics," I get the same message you did.

Must be a bug in the way Google looks at the group.

Wan,

I am viewing through Google and have no new posts either. It was working fine until a couple of days ago.

John, Same for me.

Seems to me there should be a way to contact the administrator of usenet as most other groups have. I don't see anythhing like that here.

I did a search in google and found lots of discussion groups but this one is the quickest for a posted question to appear.

There is no single administrator of Usenet -- there are thousands of us, one for each news server carrying r.m.r.a. (and all the other groups). Since you're posting via Google, that's the admin you want to contact. Good luck!

And landing gear all the way to her earlobes .... :-) oc

Would you like to wiggle her rudder?

I'd like her to play with my joystick...
