Members are very frequently unable to access this group. They get a
"bad gateway" page most of the time. I personally use a newsreader
but most of the others don't have one and have to rely on this site.
Can't you please fix this problem before there's no one left to talk
to???
I posted in the NovaBBS "bugs" group, and this is the reply I got:

The operator of novabbs died. Redirect them to a real newsreader https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_Usenet
or to newsgrouper.org

I checked out this "newsgrouper.org" and it looks like it might, I say------------
might, be a good alternative to the buggy NovaBBS and the identity-
stealing one that Will Dockery uses (I can't remember the name, but
Google sent me all kinds of alerts when I visited it).

Yes, sad but true, Retro Guy passed away a couple of months ago.
