Anyone have some facts on what newsgroups are?

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if you are talking about Usenet Newsgroups ... often called newsgroups. They've been around since the early days of the internet (before HTML) and were quite popular in the 80's. Though there are lots still around, they've been largely supplanted by bulletin board systems (like this one).
