Newsgroups, Grupos de noticias, Nieuwsgroepen, Groupes de discussion

We were reviewing some of the comments on our last blog post Newsgroups vs. Usenet and we were reminded of a question we've been asking ourselves for the last 3 months or so….

"What do people who speak languages other than English use to reference Usenet related terms?"

I just want to give you praise for being the best Usenet provider on the earth! I have been a Usenet user since internet was in the cradle, and i can honestly say that i have tried all the major usenet providers there is, but none of them can measure up to your quality of providing Usenet!
