It's time someone setup an alternative usenet archive to Google Groups.
The only people to do this were DejaNews.com, later acquired by Google.
Then there was the 'look, we recovered all this old stuff off tapes' which is locked behind captchas and against the open spirit of usenet. [edit: the tape archive is available here http://archive.org/details/utzoo-wiseman-usenet-archive http://archive.org/details/utzoo-wiseman-usenet-archive]
Perhaps the Internet Archive should archive usenet?
- DanBC 14y agoHaving an archive that is properly searchable, and which isn't broken when re-ordering the results, would be lovely. (EG: Google groups often falls over when trying to sort by date.) I'd happily pay a small amount for that.
