Does anyone know if this is still the most comprehensive archive? I'd like to know if the owner found any of the missing 91-01 datasets or if they are available anywhere.

#32It's always fun to realize that USENET is still out there humming along. I still remember the thrill of working on my ancient Delphi/Object Pascal projects, and posting questions... waiting a few hours and checking back for responses. There was no "instant gratification" in those days. (I wasn't really using IRC). Opening this, and just searching "Delphi" I see that USENET never did get that "censorship" that I alway…
It's used for piracy a lot still.

the alt.devilbunnies vs alt.pave.the.earth "wars" kept me sane as a teenager. I miss the old internet.

#34Other than the nicer UX, is this different than the large archive in groups.google.com ?

hmmm, interesting. .... address? Can I get an account?
I'm sorry, it's only for people I know personally. Also, it only holds minor Usenet hierarchies like the vestigial dk.*. It's not too difficult to set up INN2, and it's easy to get an external feed. It uses minimal resources, and there is hardly any maintanance once it has been installed and configured.
Does anything happen in the dk. hierarchy anymore. Last time I check, probably 10 years ago, it was either spam or one crazy person.
It's a bit of a shame, I really want something like dk.city.copenhagen and dk.city.copenhagen.noerrebro to replace Facebook groups. That's probably never going to happen, it's seems like a missed opportunity.

Google has had memory loss. I was on usenet in the early 80's and when Google took over, I had fun reviewing my posts. Probably 10 years ago (more or less), I did the search again and the earliest post was sometime in the 90's. Very sad that they lost all those posts (not just of mine, but surely there are many more they lost).
EDIT: and in this specific archive, the earliest post of mine is 2003!

I remember the epic flame wars with a certain game developer (who I wont name so as not to create drama here) whose starship simulator had a few bugs.

#38I am thrilled to announce that none of my old UseNet stuff seems to be there.
