Lawyer Daggett had posted with this novabbs interface and Burkhard has resurfaced using it too. I knew they would return. Has anyone seen Bill
Rogers?

Anyway this:
https://www.novabbs.com/interests/thread.php?group=talk.origins

I’ve put it through some basic tests:

https://whois.domaintools.com/167.172.133.81

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/00f9592f2e0cd11a1bba924d0de5b35bf0242857ba97ea58b7abf9c3e667629a/detection

Seems kosher.

What’s it like? I see something about registering. Is that it? Is it completely web-based?

From Burkhard’s headers:
Organization: novaBBS
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
User-Agent: Rocksolid Light

What’s “Rocksolid Light”? Is that just part of a web interface or is there
an actual client-server setup involved?

I see this also which brings https://www.i2pn2.org/ into the picture: https://www.novabbs.com/common/connect.php

Is that a way to gain access with a traditional newsreader?

So anyway this usenet access venue seems interesting. Feedback?

It looks like there is a news server called:

news.novabbs.org

Which I was able to connect to and view the active file of some 40,000
groups. I didn't test posting to it.
