Model Forum / General / Models / May 2006Free Access Newsgroup server for rec.models.scale and others
Just to remind you all, there is a news server at news.sbxmodelshop.co.uk which is providing a full feed of the following news groups. rec.models.scale alt.binaries.pictures.aviation alt.binaries.models.scale Currently we have no plans to expire messages on rec.models.scale and we will be keeping at least 2 months worth of data for the other two news groups - which generate some 300mb per day in data! To use this service, just point your news reader at news.sbxmodels.co.uk and you should be up and running. If you have any problems please contact me - david@sbxmodelshop.co.uk and I will do what I can to help.

Thank you very much indeed for this; my ISP (Free-Online) has recently dropped all the binary newsgroups, saying that they consumed an unfairly large amount of server space for the limited use that they got. I read this as the big file-swapping groups, mp3, dvd and etc were the problem, and little rec.models.scale was off the bottom of the register, but they weren't prepared to be selective. So your news is very welcome indeed. >> Just to remind you all, there is a news server at >> news.sbxmodelshop.co.uk which is providing a full feed of the [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > and little rec.models.scale was off the bottom of the register, but they > weren't prepared to be selective. So your news is very welcome indeed. Same happened to me ,I sent an e-mail of complaint and received a "too bad reply" . I sent another e-mail back requesting a reduced fee as I now don t get the full service that I originally signed up for. No answer.

Interesting. Your headers show that you're actually posting from Supernews: >Organization: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com . If that's the case the whole point (for me) is moot as SBX Model Shop is sourcing his news feed from Supernews, and I use APN which also sources its feed from Supernews.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >> Organization: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com . That's because I posted in the rms group from my supernews account. The groups on the sbxmodelshop are the same as are on the supernews server or any other newsserver. What I post on supernews shows up in the sbx server and vice versa. When you get there, you will see the messages you have posted on your newsserver. I am posting this reply from the sbx server.

The only advantage to using the sbx server is that David said the retention period would be longer than on some other newsservers. >I am posting this reply from the sbx server.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Shop is sourcing his news feed from Supernews, and I use APN which >also sources its feed from Supernews. As has been mentioned, we have a very much longer retention period than most news servers - in fact we currently have no plans to expire any messages. Also, we source from 2 independent sources so we tend to get a complete feed. Some news providers don't always do that. We are free - unlike Supernews, so if all you want is the model and picture groups then we are cheaper - grin. Lastly, we should be a bit quicker as we are not trying to provide huge numbers of users with huge amounts of binary downloads. Hope this helps.

Got everything sorted - I just had to click on 'Reset' in Agent's Newsgroup Directory and they came up. I guess it's safe to cancel my APN subscription now... :) Cheers!
