#1331 — what happened to comp.lang.oberon ?

I realize this is a bit of a silly question, but since Modula-2 and Oberon are closely related, I figure I'd ask here.

What happened to news://comp.lang.oberon ??

I think it still exists, but it hasn't shown up (for me, in Google Groups) in ages, and I don't know why.

"Banned content warning
comp.lang.oberon has been identified as containing spam, malware, or other malicious content."

Sounds unlikely. Worse is that there's no one to ask officially, no way to find out for sure. So I keep wondering and wanting to ask *someone*.

Any ideas?

Nothing happened to it, it's still there.
That's what you get for using google instead of a news server.

"Effective February 15, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today."

With google groups ending Usenet access, any recommendations on a real news server to use instead?

Thanks,

details.

Thanks!  I will share!  I did get signed up with eternal-september.org, but am still in the process of finding a client application.  I was planning on using slrn, but apparently it does not support the required authentication...

ThunderBird works with E-S.

Please consider donations to Eternal September.  Since the Google trash 
spout was closed, they have received over 3000 new subscribers.

Oddly the only comp.lang group I managed to find through Eternal September was comp.lang.go.  Very strange.  Back to Google Groups until the 22nd I guess.  After that I'll have to figure out a new plan...

That is strange.  I subscribe to 10 groups in comp.lang.* via Eternal 
September. What reader are you using?

That's with Thunderbird.

I tested a small handful of clients both GNU/Linux and Windows and that's the only one I could get to connect, but unfortunately I have that oddity of only seeing that one comp.lang group.

What are others using successfully?  Anyone running OpenIndiana?  As a Solaris guy from back in the day I'm wondering if that would include a better client?

I'm subscribed to comp.lang.oberon (and other comp.lang.* groups) via 
Eternal September and Mozilla Thunderbird. There is very very low 
traffic on oberon. Last messages are a couple of them in 2022 and a 
singe message on November 2023.

This is getting really off-topic:  I just built tin-2.6.3 on Solaris 
11.3/Sparc and I have no problem connecting with 
news.eternal-september.org.  I can see comp.lang.oberon.

[answered as Thunderbird, but in a message with insanely long quoted
lines I can't requote properly; I think that's also a googleism]

Are you sure your username&password are set (correctly)? I've seen
reports e-s directory doesn't work right if you aren't logged-in.

I use e-s via Forte Agent (duh, my headers say so) and get lots of
comp.lang.*.
