    From Havok@1:103/705 to All on Wed Jan 25 20:02:51 2023
    Hello all
    Can someone give me a idea on who is a free or cheap usenet news group
    to join. I see plenty but they are all free for like one month or three
    and then the 10.00 a month or a little less kicks in.

    Thanks...

    I use https://www.astraweb.com/. I paid $10 for 25GB back in 2018 and I have only used about 4GB of that.

    Hello

    I run a news server. You can sign up to my BBS and drop me a note you'd
    like usenet access. I'll add a flag to your account and you'll be able
    to use your favorite usenet client to access using your BBS
    credentials. It's still in test so it'll be nice to have someone to
    test with.

    There's no binaries so you're have to get you pr0n from elsewhere tho :)

    About the same time someone offered Eternal September and I am now hooked
    up with them for free.

    Thanks though!

    No worries. If you need a second feed, let me know. I'm not charging anything either.

    Wow thanks

    Reminds me of the old days, when any sysop was willing to help the
    other guy out!

    Thank you...
