Usenet is becoming more and more complex. Some indexing sites showed it, some not. Some raw searches show, others don't. I never heard of the group until recently.

Yep, a crusade against mafia (yes, the real one, complete with Italian and Israeli surnames) as evidenced by the folks with extensive political and monied interests in the northeastern states of the US (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, eastern Pennsylvania), and who started (with their mobbed up law firms) and continue the current jihad.
It's easy to see from the other end of the continent. It's simply such a low bar of 'entertainment' it's always good for a bellyful of laughs that anyone over the age of 5 or 6 pays it any attention. But the folks running it need to eventually be brought to the bar of justice (i.e., have their own wing in the latest super-max).
It seems as if binsearch has stopped indexing a.b.hdtv.x264 which is not a good sign. Any other obvious ones falling off the list?
No, I was evidently full of shit, they've promoted it to their primary server pool and my lazy arse didn't check that before I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

No longer works, but

Works just fine.
Binsearch always has been a bit odd in the way they've split their database into 'popular' and 'others' groupings.
Several folks/groups of folks are thinking they can avoid DMCA's by starting up new groups with weird names, but what it really does is 'hide' their postings from the search engines, until they 'add' that group to their schema; it may depend on how that is added, either automatically or manually.
Which is all why it's always a good idea, when searching for something, that one uses several index sites and not rely on just one or two.
a.b.e-book.technical is going to 'dry up' as it were, while rockhound takes a (hopefully) short hiatus. I'm sure his/her acolytes will more than handle reposts until that time. Only real drama as of late.
