    Does anybody know a newsserver that has this group?


    You could ask for it to be added at E-S. If the group is properly
    constituted and the control messages archived, Ray will add it.
    The fact that it is not already present in the E-S groups list suggests
    that it isn't a real Usenet newsgroup.

    alt.entertainment is not a newsgroup with an archived newgroup message
    at ftp.isc.org. No News site that requires there to be an archived
    newgroup message will create it.

    Are you sure it's not a Google Group mailing list? A lot of Google Groups mailing lists appear to be named into Usenet namespace but they are not
    Usenet newsgroup, or newsgroups of any kind.

    As far as narkive, they display the Path header so you should be able to
    figure out how the messages got archived.

    I don't see how this is a Usenet abuse issue as no proper News site is
    likely to have created this as a newsgroup.

    No control message on the isc ftp.
    ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/alt/

    Also, for me the content looks like spam in German, or at least bot/AI messages.

    I cannot read them on narkive, they seem to have been removed.

    It is not available on Google Groups.

    How can I display it on narkive?

    I thought narkive retains headers. Maybe I'm wrong.

    David Ritz answered your question in the other followup.

    IBTD: It's converstions about German Trash TV shows and "celebs" and hence even on topic in a group named alt.entertainment. Not the right language,
    though. Reminds me of the time when new usenet users were taught
    introductory courses in "Usenet".

    The "View for bookmarking" link,
    http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=169410684400 is static and uses fewer
    resources.

    Thanks, Ray. I'll try to pay closer attention.
