- What
are the Usenet newsgroups?
- The Usenet newsgroups are one of the oldest parts of the internet.
Originally a message board/forum system used mainly by academics
and scientists it has become a niche home to many thousands of
mp3 traders, multimedia file swappers and file traders of every
different kind. The Usenet's anonymity makes it the perfect place
for privacy conscious uploaders and downloaders to share files,
mp3's, movies, programs and image files both adult and non-adult.
Usenet newsgroups are still the home to many forums or discussion
groups covering 1000's of topics of every imaginable sort. Science,
movies, politics, movie stars, parenting, sports clubs, universities
and colleges, Mensa, cult figures, you name it there is a discussion
group that covers it. Millions of files, messages and other posts
are made daily to the Usenet newsgroups. There is so much to the
Usenet newsgroups I can't even begin to cover it all in this paragraph.
If you have never used Usenet newsgroups before you will be impressed
with the amount of content and subjects covered in the newsgroups.
If you have specific questions about Usenet newsgroups please
feel free to contact us at support@alibis.com with your questions.
Our support staff can answer your questions and give you personal
assistance in beginning to use the Usenet newsgroups. We can recommend
a newsgroup reader program for you to use and we can help you
get started using it.

- Who owns
Usenet newsgroups?
- Newsgroup postings live on the Usenet bulletin board system,
which is much like the World Wide Web in that many organizations
provide servers hosting and distributing newsgroups. No one group
controls Usenet, but rather it is a collaborative effort between
many parties. There are general rules, known as Netiquette, which
generally govern the operation of the Usenet network and each
individual newsgroup. All posts, files and messages that you find
posted in the Usenet newsgroups are placed there by Usenet newsgroup
users like yourself. No company or usenet access provider (including
alibis.com)owns the files or messages posted in the Usenet newsgroups
even though you may download or view them through their Usenet
newsgroup news server. Usenet access providers like Alibis.com
only own the news servers and provide access via these servers
to the worldwide network of Usenet newsgroup servers. The Usenet
network world wide is comprised of 10's of thousands of Usenet
newsgroup servers.

Do I have to use a special news reader program to access alibis.com's
news servers?

need to use a news reader program to access alibis.com's news
servers. We have several web browser compatible interface's you
