In 1994 when I first got online I somehow stumbled across some posting boards that I thought were called "newsgroups." They were boards covering every suject imaginable and the responses to each subject numbered in the hundreds or even thousands. Too large for me, so I left and never went back. It seems to me it was linked up to my email area somehow. Anyone know if these very very large discussion boards (they are not live chat) still exist and how one can find them? Thanks

If you want to elaborate on what your ISP is I'll try to find the info on how to connect.

There's also newsgroup programs that pull all the binaries from them (files). I used to use NewsBinPro.
I barely have time to post here. I think all of what I have read here about Newsgroups makes them a good source of information for someone with more time than I have but i am disappointed that I apparently cannot access them on a regular browser without some work or modification. Thanks for thr information, I'm going to copy and save this thread and ponder it.
