Ha - it is now, and shows this message: "Important Notice: News server maintenance ongoing NNTP access currently might be limited or impossible. Please try again later." Great. Not. (Google groups seems like the obvious way of posting in this circumstance. One reason I don't dismiss all posts through Google.) -- Rod |

Anyone using"news individual.net" as a news server .I've not been able
to get connected for hours . I moved to motzarella.org when I got ****ed around over them failing to take payment from 3 different credit cards. The service is just as good, and completely free. |

Motzarellea urns me down, reporting that it's `too busy' about once in four. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. I won't pay for usenet out of principle frankly , not even a few pounds. I use both Motzarella and AIOE - Motzarella often tiems out under heavy load and AIOE occasionally only has some of the messages in a thread - not showing others at all. |

I paid a fiver for a few gigs of data from usenet-news about 18months ago. Still got almost 3 gigs so at this rate I'll be needing more in 2011. Another fiver... |

I'm a Usenet junkie myself, and also I'm always short of money, but it has never bothered me to pay 10 Euros a year to News.Individual.NET. What bothers me is that so few people these days have even /heard/ of Usenet, and keep on using appallingly clunky message board systems (or worse, blogs), while demanding improvements that were part of Usenet when it was designed. -- Angus Rodgers |

Do you expect everything to be free? Perhaps he just expects usenet to be free. And why not, it always has been. Not really. I've been using it for 27 years, and someone has always had to pay something in all that time. Mainly my employer...who actually sold Usenet services to the UK years ago. -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by http://www.diybanter.com |

I moved to motzarella.org when I got ****ed around over them failing to take payment from 3 different credit cards. Tell me about it. It took months for Click&Buy to accomplish the simple task of updating the expiry date of my MasterCard (without changing the other details) OR deleting the old record and creating a new one, OR doing any of the other things one might logically think of doing in that situation. Their website made it literally logically impossible to extricate oneself from the problem, and their customer service people repeatedly failed to understand or respond to my simple explanations of what the problem was. How it eventually got sorted out, I forget, and I never even completely knew, because I was so fed up with it that I never even read their final e-mail to me on the subject. Somehow my credit card did in the end get debited, because someone at their end must in the end have updated the details manually. It wasn't as bad as dealing with the Inland Revenue spit, but it made about as little sense. The service is just as good, and completely free. If the credit card nonsense happens again, I'll look into that - thanks for the tip! Meanwhile, I'm as happy as ever with Nine Inch Nails ... sorry, News.Individual.NET ... themselves, just not their payment system. (The old payment system worked fine.) The notice is still up there at their website: "Important Notice: News server maintenance ongoing NNTP access currently might be limited or impossible. Please try again later." No access problems for me since yesterday, though. -- Angus Rodgers |
