Hi,

When I try to find my topic three days ago, I find most of topics
here are spam...

How much people still use newsgroup now? Why there are so many
spams left here? How can we do to avoid this?

Regards!
Bo

As does the free Usenet provider eternal-september.org.

You're complaining to the TV station that your living room is too
noisy for you to watch them. The problem is not the newsgroup, but the
"here" that you refer to -- that is, the place where you view this
newsgroup.
