People still feel the need to pay for nzbs? What a joke. Some search engines even have a RSS feed for groups if that's your defense for lazyness or lack of knowledge.

I think the next target is NZBMatrix, considering there the biggest NZB site now, won't be long.

My worry is that they are only treating the symptoms to the errr, "problem" The copyright infringing files still exist on usenet servers. I know usenet has been around since the early eighties and has enjoyed a somewhat untouchable status but all the binary posts have steadily migrated away from ISP servers. Whether we like it or not, there are companies profiting from pirates (yes I have my eye patch on as we speak) and that's what our friends at the MPA despise.
I think it's become quite obvious in the past few days how much of a service Newzbin actually provided for the small fee it charged. Matrix's rss feeds have failed under the strain of trying to pick up the baton and Nzbs.org have pre-emptively shut their doors to new registrations to protect their servers. I suspect if binsearch's feeds were reliable enough to use they'd fall over too. That just leaves nzbindex and it's anyone guess how long they last.I rest my case.
Running a professional service costs money, cowboy outfits like matrix and ad driven sites like nzbindex/binsearch can't provide that same level. Details of Newzbin's server farm used to be in the docs and it was pretty impressive to say the least.

A (lazy) attempt at posting mindless drivel to get privs to access the invites section. It's been deleted.
I have not found any good alternatives to newzbins now that they are gone, anyone have a good recommendation on another good site?
