Anyone know anything about newsgroups?

My boyfriend, who seems to think I have the answers to everything computer-related, is asking me about newsgroups. I have absolutely no interest in newsgroups, hence I have not acquired the knowledge which would enable me to answer his questions.

I’m sure some of you know about it…could you please,please,please share yor greater knowledge with me?

Please… :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

i know there’s lots of stuff to download there ^^

There are many different forms of newsgroups, and several different systems that support them. What is he specifically looking for/to do?

Hurrah! Thanks Obw! He’s looking for bondage films almost exclusively. God, his constant questions annoy me sometimes. Hmm…why don’t you move in here and I can move to Oxford?Or you can just tell me about it online,your choice. :slight_smile:

If he is really completely new to the idea, I suggest he spends a little cash and uses something like

usenet.com/newToUsenet.htm

which will do all the hard work for him. Especially useful if he has no desire to participate in discussing, or learn about other groups, but just wants to download movies. Usenet has all the alt.sex.bondage type groups, and a big community of BDSMers.

Alternatively he could try searching ‘google groups’ for more links and so on.

Hope that helps.
