I see the term Retention mentioned

Thousands upon thousands of posts are made to news servers each day. Retention is how long the posts are stored by the news servers. More active newsgroups will generally have a shorter retention, as they will have to make room for the amount of posts made daily. The provider you pick will have different retention times for their newsgroups.

got feedback?
