Re: [News] Who has the longest retention?
quote:
Not had time to test any others yet but I did notice that in one particular binary group that I'm only seeing about 30 days retention from giganews.
Can anyone else not using giganews see how far they can go back in alt.binaries.radio-scanner?
I can make it to 8/8/2006 at 6:41 AM for the oldest.
Not the most popular of groups
I kinda recall contacting giganews about some groups not having the promised retention time and getting a response back that some non-popular groups may have less retention.
If this is the case than giganews is not for me and the stated retention is misleading as well.
I frequent less popular tech type groups and it is these types I'm looking for long retention.
If anyone can test their news-server for the group I listed above and let me know the retention shown, I'd appreciate it

What gives ANON?
I mentioned in my earlier post that this was NOT a popular group.
I only wanted to compare retention for this group before I plunk down cash in order to try a different news host.
Would you subscribe to each news provider in order to find out who may have the longest retention?
I doubt it as most charge a minimum of one month to try it.
Many here have subscriptions to a variety of providers and I see no harm in asking what the retention looks like for a single group.
I know what Giganews looks like as I've used them for a few years now.
And I'm most certainly not bitching and was only asking a legitimate question.
So, bug out ANON. |
