• Usenet-Next - A proposal to create a very strict NNTP network with nosp

    Hi Tristan!

    20 Nov 2016 18:44, from Tristan B. Kildaire -> DOVE-Net.Internet,AGN_BBS,FIDO.INT:

    I want an NNTP network and I know many others do as well,

    Well ... something like that exists, it is called fidonet and is not massively popular in recent times.

    I think that the existing NNTP protocol allows you to do what you want.
    I just very much doubt that you will be able to interest enough people to participate.

    Good luck!

    CU, Ricsi

    I agree. But atleast I started a thoughtful discussion.

    I would VERY surprised if it would not die very soon without any palpable outcome.

    Let's see.

    True as well. This post will fall into the whole of retention. But hey, I posted it onto Usenet and the other news servers would have gotten it by now so
    maybe someone will find it.

    I think he meant he had posted his idea in some newsgroups, rather than this echo. I've seen and responded to a couple of his messages in at least one of the alt.bbs.* groups

    i understand that and fully understand and agree with the comments he has received about his idea... sad to say but while it does have merit, it is highly unlikely that others will take up the flag for it...
