The youngin's around here don't know what newsgroups are....... you know
it's bad when internet technology is so old that the younger generations
don't know what it is 🙂

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits
his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? Matt. 16:26

I never saw/heard of that unicycle-forum.com thing either.
It looks like a generic newsgroup-to-web gateway;
something rec.sport.unicycling doesn't really need because
we have this.

But I could be wrong.

Short answer to "what is a newsgroup": It's the pre-web
Internet version of forums like this, basically, but not as
fancy. Look up Usenet for more info.

Before the newsgroup (which is called rec.sport.unicycling),
there was the unicycling mailing list. This was a big open
email forum where people from around the world communicated.
Write a message to the mailing list address, and everyone on
the list gets a copy in their inbox. Those were the days!

I can't remember the name of the guy who started the list.
He's in Arizona, and hopefully someone here remembers.
Terry something? This was taken over by Beirne Konarski,
who also started the web site, www.unicycling.org. I think
Ken Fuchs did the groundwork to get the newsgroup
established. They are the early creators of this little
world we communicate in.

thanks John, i did actually find out what a Newsgroup was
and have been playing around with it for the last couple
days (hence the seemingly misplaced and un named post in
this thread) but that unicucle-forum site still confuises me
because there is no way to reply and no Usenet name (like
rec.sport.unicycling)

I think you mean Terry Jones in Santa Fe, Arizona.

A fascinating account of the establishment of this
newsgroup, for those who are interested in history, is
recorded 'here' (tinyurl.com2y4buOpen ↗). This started in
1992 but only materialised in 1995.

eek: Uni+Juggling =Clown

Unicycle.com could make a killing selling costumes too ,big
red noses ,orange wigs ,huge red shoes ,makeup,suits etc,
there must be a few off road Clown shots out there ??

Juggling on a 2 wheeler at speed offroad would be rad.Off
a big hit!

Waitress more beer !
