    You can check out your newserver here:

    For example it says for http://www.eternal-september.org/

    Retention is currently 2 years for de.*,
    160 days for the Big 8, 130 days for alt.*
    and 90 days for other hierarchies.

    So Big 8 is only 160 days.

    Nope, it lands nowhere and gets deleted after
    a while. This is called the retention time.

    Different servers will have different
    retention times for the same newsgroup;
    some may keep posts for as little as one
    or two weeks, others may hold them for many years.

    Do you find any of your posts from 12
    years ago on an ordinary news server?

    Yeah, every USENET post sort of lands right in
    the Library of Congress, don't you know.


    Sure, some modern services have 20+ years text retention,
    if you were following news.admin when Google Groups
    cut itself loose from usenet after turning into a
    vandalistic spam-hive that it could obviously mitigate,
    about "Archive All Text Usenet", some fellow furthermore
    posted a feed of like all of text usenet and like
    including the DejaNews CD's contents and these, yeah.

    It's not even like 4 terabytes.  Less than a 1000 movies, say.

    What are you a clown?  I'm not buying your spam.
