|    Usenet-Next - A proposal to create a ver    |
|    20 Nov 16 18:50:25    |
      XPost: alt.artcom, alt.amateur-comp, alt.business       From: deavmi@disroot.org              So, I was not born in the Usenet era and honestly would have like to had       what they had - a standard protocol for communication. This exists today       but guess what has happened to it, SPAM, SPAM and more SPAM.              I want an NNTP network and I know many others do as well, I surely       cannot be alone in a quest for a protocol which allows discussions on       topics with any client you want to use. Therefore I want to create a new       Usenet, in this proposal I shall refer to it as Usenet-Next as it needs       a name that people can use to relate to this proposal.                     So how shall we make our network rid of spam. Well the thing is to be       strict in both the user registration process and the server       configurations and who our servers peer with. I am not well versed at       all in NNTP but that is why I'd like to get you people to mail me       (deavmi [at] disroot [dot] org) so we discuss the setup but also the       rules for the network which will be very strict and lastly how these       things are linked together.                     Remember, we are not migrating Usenet but creating our own network,       Usenet-Next, therefore we will not have any relation to the Usenet       network or community, the only relation we will have is making them       aware of our new proposal and network.                     I would like to save the idea of a distributed network of servers       tossing posts around to create a decentralized but common database of       news - this is Usenet. I would greatly appreciate mail from anyone who       would like to discuss this proposal and do some tests and setup the       network. I would also like to note that I am not making myself the       network king or anything, I just want to start the discussion.                     I am sorry for the spam I have caused. But spam is something that is       useless, and this is not spam. I have contradicted myself there, sorry.       I just felt that this is a matter of emergency. I don't want to resort       to terrible centralized web forums, I love Usenet, even for the 2 days I       have been using it but I could not come to terms with and accept the spam.                     Sincerely,       Tristan B. Kildaire (Deavmi)                     .....              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
