![]() Usenet Newsgroups FAQWhat 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

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 usenetnewserver.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 usenetnewserver.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 usenetnewserver.com's news servers?

reader program such as NewsRover you do not need to use a news reader program
