Tin (and presumably any other newsreader) can show anything and
everything that exists on any particular news server.  Oh - you
want photos, or video?  Fire up a web browser, video player, etc.

Tin can also save this junk to a file, for those who can't live
without it.  Then, there are probably some web hosts that decode
all this stuff and offer it - an old friend had one (News2Me.COM)
up for a while, but I see it's no longer there.  Just a guess,
but I'd suspect it was croaked by the DMCA.

Why?  When traffic is continually increasing, "slide into obscurity"
does not follow...

You should find that informative -- the audience you're seeking to
serve prefers web sites.  Not to mention I personally would greatly
prefer they use them.

Usenet is doing quite well where access restrictions effectively reduce
the crap to a tolerable level.  The Panix hierarchy (local groups only
available to Panix customers) is an excellent example.

I think you're confusing & conflating the quality of the tools with the
quality of the users.  A "better" newsreader is not going to suddenly
transform an idiot into a polite, well-spoken human being.

Well, pushing those costs onto third parties is not my idea of a
solution.  If something fails, I think that's because it wasn't good
enough to carry its own weight.  Usenet is not a charity...

Again, it's not the software, it's the content.

Why would we (maintainers of Usenet) pursue anything that's only going
going to pile yet more inappropiate load on a system that is not meant
to support any of it?

By the way... The Panix reader servers only carry (at this moment) 9550
text groups.  There may be a few binary groups in these, but I doubt it.

Huh?  I'm a very heavy user of email for commercial purposes.  I pay
for it.  How much do you think 15TB a day of email would cost?

Email is a mission-critical service, and is handled accordingly.
Usenet is not.  Usenet is a best-effort service.

> Same is true of web support boards or social media outreach.

Anyone can generate income with a web site.  Usenet is not a
commercial service.  The charters of most groups forbid, or at
least discourage, commercial use.

Again, Usenet is not a commercial service.  Further, I suspect
the massive load created by traffic Usenet was never intended to
support is a significant factor in many ISPs deciding to just
stop providing it, at all.

What exactly is wrong with using HTTP to serve HTTP content?

Well, I don't want to pay for it, either.

She should use a web browser.

Most can't build it, true, but it does compile fine on Mac OS.  I
suppose I could build and offer the binaries to those who'd like to
use it.  If someone hasn't already (I haven't looked).  I could also
easily add a script to invoke the terminal emulator and run it.

Here you want us to be charitable, but elsewhere you want us to buy
(or at least fund the development of) your "open source."  Nobody is
paid anything for their work on tin, or slrn.  Nothing.  Not one cent.

And this will execute under how many different operating systems?

Tin builds and runs on plenty of them - http://www.tin.org/builds.html

You can't call it open source if you want to sell it.

Tin is not going to cater to how people _ABUSE_ Usenet.  Not in 2014,
not ever.  I seriously doubt slrn ever will, too.

I think you need some experience maintaining NNTP and NNRP servers.

I'm very happy with it as it is.  I _don't want_ photos, video, et cetera.
Just say it with words, and perhaps a cite or two, and I'll be happy.

Yes, it is.  Does that justify your piling yet more load on a service
never intended to support (any of) it?

No - most servers expire stuff, and in particular, expire the material
you'd like to clog them with quite rapidly.  There are some archives,
but for the the text groups.

> The cost is lower than any of the "cloud storage" that's out there

No, the cost is essentially the same.  Just because no one is forcing
you to pay for it does not mean no one at all has to cover the costs.

Somebody is absolutely, positively paying for it.

DejaNews.  R.I.P.

There are some people who save things, ala olduse.net - but are they
going to want to archive massive amounts of your data?  I think not.

We don't care.  We're happy with what we have, and don't like freeloading

I merely suggested you give it a look, and benefit from their decades of
experience creating a newsreader that works well in the real world.

How does the existence a transportable library relate to getting the

I don't see how you can say that - you don't know any of them, nor how
they work, nor what they want to accomplish.  Speaking of disingenuous.
