#4 I wonder if it's just bug abuse? Does anyone remember when you could remove random websites from Google's index by simply logging into your account and then inserting another website address? I wouldn't be surprised if this was a similar exploit.

Google abandoned "Google" Groups (Usenet belongs to Google?) years ago and gave in to spammers.

#6On Usenet, "Google groups" - which provides easy Usenet access to the clueless, and violates netiquette by default - is only one notch above "AOL". Search "eternal september" for more information.
(By the way, aioe.net provides a good free newsserver, as does eternal-september.org. Of course, you'll have to go elsewhere for binaries.)

#8Google has a serious quality problem. Check out the link to the Google Groups page...
1.) Does not scroll with the mouse wheel unless you are in 'certain areas' of the page (aka broken). 2.) They are using Frames, like this is 1999 3.) Instead of easy-to-read button names, they are icons of unknown purpose. 4.) Why all the wasted white space?
Google is a bunch of college smart alecs... you see that in the tone of their posts. But sites like Google Groups are garbage.

In the last year Groups has had pretty significant work done on improvements. A complete new AJAX based design, better moderation controls for forum owners, and even Q&A features that are being tested in some Google Support forums.
