In order to use Usenet, you must have the following: The kind folks at Binverse have provided me with an account to test out their USENET service – and better still, have provided 5 other accounts as part of a giveaway! More details at the end – now let’s take a look at Binverse: The last time I looked at USENET services was when our ISP stopped hosting them and I wasn’t ready to stop using them yet, and found that amongst all the available Usenet services there was a broad range available with a huge range of groups and posting dates retained on the servers. Gone also was the burgeoning sea of ‘other’ material, much of which the copyright holders would rather not be available without paying. So gone too was the ability to preview new Newton or Psion apps by having authors put files into the appropriate group. Of course, since then much has changed in the USENET world – while Google Groups fully integrated everything related to general discussions by 2006 and pretty much killed off the traditional threaded USENET, it also dropped support for files. Then suddenly I was looking at RPGDot, GameBanshee,, RPGamer, and on and on. Yet even then I still lamented the loss – it was (and still is) incredibly inefficient to seek information about a given subject sprawled across dozens of websites and blogs when a single – or few – USENET groups used to contain loads of experts on the subject.įor example, I am a huge PC RPG fan, and so I would spend too much time on .GAMES.RPG. That was until around 2003 or 2004, when I found that splitting my time between dwindling USENET activity and climbing web activity was just too much. Perhaps showing my age, I was so engrained in USENET since nearly the very beginning of the service in the early 80’s that I stayed using it long after most folks had moved to web forums.
