Quote When ISP was dial-up, many companies offered newsgroups as an attraction. So, about the timeframe you mentioned the newsgroups basically became porno portals after the mommies of the USA discovered the internet. Bandwidth to the newsgroups became a problem. Today, there are portals to newsgroups, but the public, free-access portals block binary downloads. Irrespective of the puritan attempts, the newsgroups are pretty much useless without search capabilities, the blocking screws everything up. Google bought the naming rights to newgroups. Or, you can subscribe to DSL-speed Newsgroups today. Mostly, the subscriptions share files back and forth. So, it won't be long before DSL newsgroups go the way of dial-up newsgroups. Quote What do you mean by newsgroups became porno portals  and are blocked for searching .</blockquote>
