Newsgroups
Quote:
Why newsgroups? Why not websites?
Money. It's as simple as that -- newsgroups are free and websites cost money. A website requires a centralized server that handles all user requests, and thus to host a pornography website costs a lot of $$ to handle all of the traffic. However, newsgroups are a distributed system -- news is transmitted to various ISP's, and stored on the ISP's computers. It's like each ISP has a little piece of the content on it, and this minimizes costs significantly.
Most adult websites charge a fee, either monthly or yearly. Some claim to be free, but usually have some trick associated with them that requires use of your credit card for "verification" purposes! Newsgroups are free, and so is BinaryVortex.
