Eternal September seems to be in trouble (hurricane effects?), so I'm
trying novaBBS.

Tchau!

AFAIK the eternal-september nntp servers are based in Germany so
at a guess I'd say not hurricane related... well, not at their
end anyway!

The newsgroups "eternal-september.support" and
"eternal-september.talk" would usually give an indication of
any issues with the service... but a back-up news service is
always a good idea.

Well, Eternal September seems to be back anyway, but it's nice to have
an alternative. Thanks for the tips!

Tchau!

Since the google groups shutdown i transitioned to Nova BBS and it works
fine. Basic at the moment, compared to google, but a good alternative.
The more people use it the more it will improve.
