Where all the newsgroups????

This is about the only newsgroup on msnews.microsoft.com.

All the newsgroups I used to use seem to have disappeared. I used to use
newsgroups for sqlserver, vc for asp.net, vb for asp.net and xp general.

They show up in the list of newsgroups but as soon as it tries to access
them, the reader says they don't exist and then they disappear.

The news groups are being closed and the news server will be closed too.
Instead Microsoft wants you to use browser based forums, start with
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/forums/default.mspx
