I have been using "individual .net" for my news server for the last couple
of years as it is a non binary server and free.
It stopped working on 1st April as it is apparently not free any more.
Can anyone recommend a free non binary news server or alternatively one with
parental control.
Thanks.
Jim.

Hi Jim,

how about news.sunsite.dk (register via
http://news.sunsite.dk/#registration)?

Or check out the newsgroup alt.free.newsserver
(e.g. via http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...ee.newsservers)

There you'll probably find several information/alternatives.

HTH,
Chiron

Didn't they used to have a maximum daily quota of 100 posts per day when
their service was free? Do they still impose that max-post-per-day
quota now that they are a paid service? I visit over 20 groups which
means that I couldn't post more than 5 messages per group on average.

I paid the $12.90 ($1.08 a month) last night and am back to not worrying
about my news service. I tried all the free ones I found listed here and
other places (aioe.org, sunsite, x-privat) and they were all slow as
molasses and unreliable.

Free is great, but so is dependability.

Reactivating my n.i.n account took less than 5 minutes and access was
instant.

"hater"

Considered the opposite of a raver, a hater is a person who is: full of
hate, very judgmental, negative, sarcastic, depressing, manipulating, quick
to finger point at every little thing they find unsatisfactory or not to
their liking or perceived standard (judgmental).

Often the subject of the hatred is something widely liked by the hater's
social circle. The hater often proves the addage that "misery loves
company", and tries to ruin the enjoyment of others. Haters might see
themselves as iconoclasts, rebels or even as being wiser/more authentic than
the admirers of the subject. However, they are more likely just cynical and
bitter about not enjoying the subject, or not being a part of the larger
group. Instead of recognizing that it may be just a matter of personal taste
or preference, they attack the subject and those enjoy it. Typically the
things they propose as the flaws of the subject are trivial or subjective,
and reveal more about the hater than any real flaws of the subject.

The hater/raver terminology might have evolved from the rave subculture, but
both terms can applied to just about any human endeavor or interest. Every
band, movie, cause, activity, flavor or what have you, has its ravers and
haters.

The most insulting and offending word to a raver is not "fucker", but
"hater".

continue using their service. You can only register on line and pay by bank
transfer and I can't find a way to do it as the details they give for their
bank do not have a sort code and my bank cant accept the payment without
this code. Perhaps German banks work differently to UK banks.
Going to try again tomorrow.
Jim.
