Newsgroups remain very much alive today and are active with many users because they provide for a more private and secure meeting ground than today’s social media sites and forums. Usenet newsgroups have been around since the dawn of the internet as the very first online social network. Whatever the reason, such providers offer access to a fraction of Usenet history, often without stating how much retention they actually maintain. They may do so in order to save on storage costs or because they simply can’t scale their storage capacity. Many providers intentionally limit their retention. The best Usenet services out there not only provide access to recent posts, but also to years of high quality newsgroup post archives.
