I think you'll like Altopia.
Like I said, it's pretty much the gold-standard in newsservers.
Always has been.
MY only complaint is that he doesn't notify me when the next payment is
due like I'd wish, so I could pay by check in advance. Of course, I
really should keep track of such things myself instead of expecting
Chris to do that for me.
Oh yeah: Make *sure* you refresh your newsgroup list.
The Altopia server has more groups listed ....
Also, he has *two* servers:
The completely uncensored one (that I use) and one that has a 'bot in it
to remove spam and other such garbage. Since I like to see
*everything*, I use the non-censored server. Others may prefer to use
the spam-blocked one.
