Time to kill off one of my oldest subscriptions. Have been using a paid provider for nearly 20 years. About 5-6 years ago I could upgrade to a yearly subscription for a big discount (compared to the prices they would introduce shortly after). But I haven't really used Usenet for anything at all in the last years.

Somehow cancelling the subscription gives me FOMO for some reason. Can never get it back for that price again. But then again, why would I want Usenet access again...

@Htbaa I use the Eternal September Usenet server, which is free and works well:

@amoroso To be totally honest I only used Usenet to download stuff (which I haven't done for years now, mind you :-)). Have never seen it being used as a discussion forum or sharing of info. But looks like Eternal September is a traditional Usenet server in that regard.

@Htbaa Yes, it's a traditional server. I subscribe only to discussion groups, so I'm not familiar with binary ones.
