Changing from Google to Gravity

I am currently using google groups but have downloaded Gravity to try
it out, think it is about time I changed!
Thing is I don't know what to enter for the address of the group.
Yes I am a beginner at this and no, the google search I did was of no
help!
Thanks
John

 

Unfortunately AOL couldn't see a way to make providing newsgroups make them
more money so basically being an AOL subscriber, you don't get access. You
can sign up to another news server, Teranews is free
http://www.teranews.com/ .

You might not be able to...

"America Online has quietly announced that it will discontinue
providing member access to Usenet newsgroups next month. In recent
days, AOL subscribers who access keyword "Newsgroups" are greeted with
a pop-up message informing them of the change: "Please Note: The AOL
Newsgroup service will be discontinued in early 2005.""

I wish I could, sadly I have no say in the matter. On the positive side
I don't have to pay for it!

 

No you're not. There are free NNTP servers. See my access page.

www.teranews.com (just the one-time signup fee)

nntp.aioe.org is free (but not reliable, slow to update, and often down).

 

John,

If you need a NNTP server, RFN is a excellent and free. Read more at:

Someone already posted a link to the website about the teranews free
server; you should be able to use that from an AOL account. There are
other free servers too. Check out the newsgroup called
alt.free.newsservers.
