Yes. They completely dropped a number of groups. And by "completely" I
mean you can't download the headers, and even if you've got NZB files
or old headers stored in your newsreader, you can't download the
message bodies either. Some examples (there are several others):
a.b.p.wals, a.b.p.willeymodels, and a.b.p.webeweb. I don't know of any
provider that still carries those groups, although I'm more familiar
with the U.S.-based providers than the Dutch ones.

I think this is when and why it happened:
