if the surfers knew about usenet they would never sign up for a normal site again. everything is available in the newsgroups.
Well GUBA (Gigantic Usenet Binary Archives) was run with the premise of allowing surfers to view these newsgroups through a web based viewer. I'll admit as an affiliate, it did pretty damn good, until it morphed into what it is today which is mainsteam videos, no adult whatsoever. The adult component that split off is called Skin Video, and they now do not have any newsgroups what so ever. Too much liability it seems, and C&D letters.
