It still shows up in the subscribe list for me,
maybe it's just closed for some cleaning. Too
much crap has been posted by this password thief
lately.

Interesting, Ananas. I can't find it on the *subscribe* list. I also went to
the AW homepage and tried to re-download it from there, and was *told* it
"was not available on the news server".

hm - I can press "refresh" and it still shows.

Might be a bug in Mozilla or OE decides to hide
non-public groups.

I wonder what would happen if I unsubscribed and
then would try to refresh the list ...

Until you have it subscribed it will stay on the list (in Mozilla)

I'm betting it'll be back. Maybe they're adjusting it or something O_o

but ummmm...

Come to the SR forums then for your general discussion needs. It's just as
active as AW's. 15k+ posts ^_^

I still find it impressive (even after the spring cleanup and "explanations" posted back
then) how the NG admins are so willing to delete all information when it gets polluted by
a punk. Deleting single posts/threads and revoking post rights should work even if it
means some administrative overhead or even getting a real news server to replace the
current junk (e.g. INN, Twister). Anyway, got to admit, the NG in question had a way too
low signal to noise ratio but that's why it was created in the first place, to get most
of the junk out of community NG.

Tried doing a complete list redownload in my client, still shows up. The
error message says "411 group did exist but has been deleted". Maybe a
weird server feature?

I unsubscribed and it's gone from the newsreader
subscribe list now (using Mozilla 5.0 - 1.3.1).
So it was like Andras said, a Mozilla bug.

I turned it off yesterday. Recently we have been getting a lot of
complaints about general.discussion. It has never been a moderated group or
even had charter and yet people have been emailing, telegramming and phoning
to get posts removed. Unfortunately we don't have the time to go through it
:(

Sorry,

E

I wouldn't call it a bug - you still ahve a bunch of posts from that group, so Mozilla tries to keep it alive for you :)
OTOH - the group indeed marked for deletion .

Whenever I get that craving I teleport to the gate area. There's usually
some idiot who comes in ranting and raving about the way things are run,
usually after getting ejected. for foul language. hehehe. And usually its
somebody who doesn't spend much time there anyway. ;-"D

I understand why it was taken away but hopefully we are still able to post
off topic threads - such as pizza news or jokes. That was the nice thing
about general discussion.
