From: Joe on 23 May 2010 09:32 So I guess the frontpage.client NG is soon shutting down. While I haven't been around in it too much much lately I had been an active participant in it for more years than I can remember. I am sure many people will miss it. I have made some life long friends in this and other newsgroups and learned so much from others. So with that I bid you all a fond farewell!

It is just Microsoft is no longer going to support it. Most other news servers will still be supplying the feed. Steve -- Neural Planner Software Ltd www.NPSL1.com EasyNN-plus.

From: Ronx on 23 May 2010 10:06 Most of the questions asked come from Microsoft's web interface to the newsgroups. When Microsoft's new server closes, so does the web interface, and there will be far fewer questions to answer even if the groups themselves keep going. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/wf-menu.aspx Stephen Wolstenholme used his keyboard to write : > On Sun, 23 May 2010 09:32:37 -0400, "Joe" > <munged(a)yesitisfrontiernet.net> wrote: >> So I guess the frontpage.client NG is soon >> shutting down.

Agreed - but most of the _questions_ come from the web interface. Most of the answerers use NNTP. In the last 25 threads in this group: 20 questions started from the web interface with 5 others: 1 announcement - the closure of the group 1 - farewell from Joe 3 - questions from Bliss, Rod and Toni -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/wf-menu.aspx Stephen Wolstenholme presented the following explanation : > On Sun, 23 May 2010 15:06:36 +0100, Ronx > <ronx917(a)hotmail.com> wrote: >> Most of the questions asked come from >> Microsoft's web interface to the newsgroups. >> When Microsoft's new server closes, so does >> the web interface, and there will be far fewer >> questions to answer even if the groups >> themselves keep going. > There are many posters and readers in all the > Microsoft newsgroups who have never used the > web interfaces. > Steve |
