Dude, those are newsgroups. You have to subscribe to them with a mail client for them to work.

Ah newsgroups... I have not been to them in months now. You would not believe the amount of stuff you can get from them. And in a short amount of time, too :lol:

This forum and site is listed under "hackers"? Oh do provide a URL to that page where it's listed as that.... I'd like to see it.

No wonder why I get so many people emailing me about hacking...

Newsgroups are to The Internet what the back alley behind the clubs downtown are to the rest of the city I live in.

You can find lots of stuff there that you simply won't see anywhere else, most of it is dirty, of questionable origin, and you have to watch yourself every minute to keep from getting jumped, mugged, arrested, or pissed on.

How's that for an analogy?  :)

I've never been able to figure out how to connect to a newsgroup.  That's probably why I frequent forums and IRC  :cry:
