I thought it was just the groups that cater to child porn? Which I imagine are used by only a few, very sick people. I have not heard they are doing away with all newsgroups.
No. This is an obvious red herring that Time Warner Cable is using to get rid of all of their Usenet access. That's right: No more 110-day retention + unlimited bandwidth binary Usenet from their outsourced services to Newshosting included for free with our Internet subscriptions after June 23.

I suggest you guys grab all you can off of Usenet and start looking into third party Usenet providers. For an equivalent of what you've been getting for free from Time Warner, you'll have to pay around $20 a month from a third party provider.

Hey, Time Warner! I look forward to my $20 cheaper a month Internet bill, you assholes.
