AD: A different way to read urg.
 

I have pulled together many gardening related newsgroups and created a website dedicated to showing the gardening newsgroup scene on the web.

www.GardenBanter.co.uk is another way of reading and searching through these newsgroups, with 20 gardening or plant related newsgroups and an archive currently of 50,000 messages.

Registration is not required to either browse or post messages, although regular users may appreciate the extra features registering gives - and it's all free.

Any feedback is appreciated - this site is not intended to replace your favorite newsreader, just act as an alternative and hopefully introduce some new readers to the groups that are not familiar with Usenet or newsgroups.

I personally hate message boards, but if it means more people will be
able to read/join in, more power to your elbow :~))

Nothing wrong with google groups if you want an 'alternative' (slower)
way of reading the groups!

Runs with interesting SW though. for under 100quid.

You might not realise that this newsgroup, and many hundreds of
others, are archived free at www.google/groups, where you can read,
reply (and use the very good search engine to find past discussions
etc).All that is done online, same as the website you are using.

However, many readers here including me, are using an **offline**
newsreader to read and reply. This has the advantage of very brief
connection periods, far lower phone bills, and the ability to filter,
order and list posts whichever way one chooses.

Google's groups free help pages will tell you all you need to know
about how usenet operates, but feel free to ask any questions you like
here. There's also a useful post which appears here every week, called
"abc for newcomers to urg".
