It is still there. Not as active as before, but still there.
Many newservers no longer provide binary service.

It's there, and your message got through. If nothing else, try resetting
your message numbers (it varies by newsreader: DAGS for specifics) and see
if you can get the messages then.
It's possible your NNTP provider isn't showing any of the new messages for
some reason, but look at your settings first.

I am another who would like to reconnect...but have had no luck.
I lost pictures of a panel I was carving around 2000.
I would like to have them, and would appreciate any help.
It was entitled 'Moses' and posted by DAClark and/or anything else
posted by that name.
Thanks

I just found the group and downloaded all the headers that are still
on my newserver. They only go back to August 2009. That's just my
server. There may be older stuff on another server somewhere.

I couldn't log onto this group or abpw until recently when I found out that
Charter Communications changed the address from "news.charter.net" to
"nntp.charter.net" and couldn't get in even then until I found that all
Charter customers within an ip range could get in without a password. I
found this through some blog I found on Google. If I entered any password
or login, it wouldn't let me in. So I haven't been able to see this group
for years with a newsreader, only thru Googles web pages. I called Charter
and they were of almost no help, and suggested that I contact Micro$soft for
tech help. They had no clue about what a news server is. I think some
other company subs that service for them, as I seem to remember.
Anyway, I can't say much about what has happened to the posts, but only that
there are very few in abpw. Maybe other isp companys did the same as
Charter... who knows.
I live outside of town, and Charter Cable is the only isp I can get, other
than slow dialup or high-dollar satellite. DSL may be here some day, but I
may be too old to see the computer by then.
If you just want limited time downloading you could try one of the free
trial providers and then cancel.

The biggest reason has to do w/ the enforcement against porn--most who
dropped binaries (same as those who dropped usenet entirely) did so as
the simple, expedient solution rather than a targeted approach.
That usenent is a small niche market means they can do so w/ impunity on
their overall market share...

Have you checked to see if your ISP is still carrying binary
newsgroups? Many ISP's have dropped them with the excuse that not
enough people use them anymore. Contact your newsgroup supplier. If
they don't carry binaries anymore then you need to find a new
supplier.
