Rumor is that Google Groups is shutting down in Feb 2024 as far as
peering and new posts to usenet. That will be a relief to usenet admins everywhere.
It's no rumor.
Google Groups ending support for Usenet
What's changing?
Starting on February 22, 2024, you can no longer use Google Groups (at groups.google.com) to post content to Usenet groups, subscribe to Usenet groups, or view new Usenet content. You can continue to view and search
for historical Usenet content posted before February 22, 2024 on Google
Groups.
In addition, Googles Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) server and associated peering will no longer be available, meaning Google will not
support serving new Usenet content or exchanging content with other NNTP servers.
This change will not impact any non-Usenet content on Google Groups,
including all user and organization-created groups. Most of the current
Google Groups content is not Usenet content and will not be affected.
If you work with Usenet groups in Google Groups, support for these
groups is ending soon.
