    As of sometime PST tomorrow, February 22, 2024, Google
    Groups will stop updating its archive of Usenet newsgroups
    including this one, though searching of the archive before
    then will still be available.

    It is only the Google Groups portal to this newsgroup that
    is getting shut down, which will mean less spam. You
    can still access this newsgroup via a newsreader such
    as Agent on Windows, Hogwasher on Mac, Pan on Linux,
    or the free Thunderbird (even if you don’t also use it for
    email) on all three, accessing a free newsserver such
    as Eternal September or Solani, or, if you want binary
    access, a paid newsserver such as Giganews.

    One effect of the shutdown is that you now seem to be
    able to do searching on Google Groups without having
    to be signed in to your Google account.

    That is if you go directly to a group URL, e.g.. https://groups.google.com/g/alt.religion.druid , but if you
    go to https://groups.google.com it is still prompting you
    to sign in, at least for now.
