Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

You don't need a VPN with Usenet. The connection is encrypted. That, and the fact that speeds are dramatically faster make up the difference in cost.

Ah, I'm from a country that doesn't enforce copyright much (at all) so using a VPN has not been a requisite for me, but I see how the speeds could be worth the money.
