Is this available on any websites that don't require Javascript to view? (Seriously folks, there's no reason a static site like this should need JS enabled to read, except for tracking purposes.)

Sign up to mailing list ?

  In keeping with history of the "Net" prefix of NetHack, this was posted to Usenet in the rec.games.roguelikes.nethack newsgroup, not a mailing list. Usenet isn't totally dead, it just seems that way from the trendier parts of the Internet. :) That newsgroup is still primary for NetHack. But sure, there are still more traditional ways to read newsgroups than the Google Groups interface.

You shouldn't even need a web browser to view this announcement -- it was posted on 27 April 2018 to rec.games.roguelike.nethack. Assuming you already have a newsreader set up, you can just go ahead and read that message.

  But you need to pay for usenet to use a newsreader, right?

    There's at least one free Usenet server for the text hierarchies. You only need to pay if you're wanting binaries (i.e. an alternative to torrenting).

    For text groups, there is AIOE and Eternal September.

    I just went ahead and logged in to a machine where I had slrn installed, then signed up for an account with http://www.eternal-september.org/ http://www.eternal-september.org/ and configured my .slrnrc with set force_authentication 1 nnrpaccess news.eternal-september.org [user] [password] then ran something like slrn --nntp -h news.eternal-september.org --create and L*nethack to select rec.games.roguelike.nethack then do s "happy to ann" to do a subject search going forward, then read the message. Page down and up with space & b, etc. It's been a little while since I used a newsreader and I didn't use to slrn, so took a few minutes to get used to.

Google groups still follows the deprecated AJAX crawling scheme: https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=topic/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/XhcIrLlNzpA https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=topic/re... Edit: note that URL redirects back to the JS-only version if you have JS enabled
