Comment

adding much more to fend of the VfD. My a.t.s. experience is from the late 1990's...

"It was established during the third week of 1990, four months after the first airing of a regular episode of the program, which was the Christmas special that aired on December 17, 1989."

Can't possibly be right, not nearly four months, but I don't know if the error is the four months or the third week of 1990. Everyking 03:50, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my fault, I left out "March." Corrected now. Krupo 04:09, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the title of this article be alt.tv.simpsons (with the lowercase alt)? Throughout the article the lower case a is used. --Roisterer 02:21, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

As far as I know, the first letter of an article must be uppercase. --Conti|✉ 15:24, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, but this article is ridiculously POV, especially the trolls section...needs to be cleaned up.130.39.109.204 03:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like something a troll would say. ;) Krupo 05:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Capsules

Why are the capsules taking so long to make? They used to make a new capsule every month or two, but now there's over a year break before a new one gets added. Just throwing that out there. SykoNachoman 00:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

single point of failure

Google Groups, which was the newsgroup's Usenet provider

?? I never heard before of a (non-local) newsgroup having a home site. —Tamfang (talk) 12:55, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is simply wrong information in the article. The newsgroup still exists and there is traffic.

It can be used by various NNTP servers and a web archive exists here:
