I mentioned in an earlier that I'm a loser who has a lot of time on my
hands.
I appreciate those who tried to me feel better...thanks. (ha ha)
But I can live with the truth.
Case in point: It's 4:25a where I am, and even though I'm mighty
tired, I thought I would see if I could find some empty groups.
It's was more difficult than I anticipated, but mostly because
Easynews is easily the weakest link here....with the switch to their
new servers (still in Beta, but soon to be on-line), they've really
pared down their group list.
Astrawebs isn't all that great either, since they (probably smartly)
only carry groups that are basically active, but that throws a screw
into out little project here. But....
I 'did' find two:
ALT.BINARIES.ZOOTOX
(Carried on Easynews, Giganews and Astraweb)
Giganews is showing some German movie posts but they are from
September, 2008 and nothing since. Eventually, they will purge and
disappear. They only show because of Easynew's huge retention.
Not sure about Astraweb, but the group is clean in Easynews.
or
ALT. BINARIES. UFC
Available on the three servers mentioned above, and, although there
were about 15 XXX Spam posts in February, they stopped over 30 days
ago, and I will venture to guess, they won't return. Otherwise, empty.
I'll place a "hi there" text post in both.
People on any other servers: Check to see if you can see either of the
above, or both.
Goodnight.
