  • testing posting via groupie news reader

    This is a test post.

    Groupie News Reader is a door created by NightFox.

    Using by synchronet bbs as the nntp server, it can
    see all the message areas USENET , FTN, etc. so just
    wanted to see if it could successfully post.

    There probably isn't much benefit to using Groupie to read/post on Synchronet though. Since it's using the NNTP interface, it lacks the features Synchronet provides, such as message voting, etc.. The main use case for Groupie is connecting directly to a news server (which isn't a Synchronet BBS) so that you can avoid setting up sub-boards for newsgroups with Synchronet & using Newslink to sync them with a news server.
