Why put up with USENET for text when Web forums have become so much more advanced? You have all sorts of crap to deal with on something like usenet.

Usenet = binaries

 

[Twista]

Old school habit I suppose ( been on the web since 1992 ) .. still like reading them. I don't worry bout binaries .. just skip em or leave the group if to many are posted.

I'm up for more web forums too so post your favorites

Seriously, without the binary downloads usenet is nothing but an endless cycle of ill-informed 13 year olds screaming about topics they don't even vaguely understand. Anyone who wants that can get their fill on ATOT.

Thanks Chu

alt.dss.hack use to be one of them... but over the last couple of years, it's degenerated to nothing but flamefest.

Now i just stick to my local buy/sell/where to eat NGs.

 

[dighn]

i just search with google news

i find that a news search yields results with siginificant less "noise" than a web search

 

[Anubis]

none

 

[Looney]

Oh, the life-extension newsgroup (i don't recall what the exact group is atm) is been very interesting in the last year... if you're into nootropics and such, it's a great place for information and sources.

EDIT: rec.drugs.smart

 

[MidasKnight]

Ok .. cool .. I'll check it out Hardcore

 

[FuZoR]

theres stuff other then warez?
