I see this message in my Google Groups feed when I look at RPCC:
"Effective February 15, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support

new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching
of historical data will still be supported as it is done today."
What other ways are any of you using to access the group?

I use giganews (2.49 a month for life when cox pulled newsgroups out). Eternal September is free. Avoid aioe at all costs. It's so much a
spammer, most refuse to give them access so messages are hit or miss.
You'll need a newsreader no matter what. xananews is free with no nag screens or ads. Plug in your account data (fake email if choose) and newsgroup server and password, and it runs out of the box. You can
fancy it with colored replies later. Best to not pull out your hair
over Thunderbird (also free). It's considerably more complex to get
running right.
If you need help with xananews (not likely), I can walk you through of
with it if you get stuck or with email, can send screen shots.
Word has it GG had a plan to drive the spammers away but it didn't
work so they are pulling the plug.
