   Usenet-Next - A proposal to create a ver   
   20 Nov 16 18:44:08   
   
   So, I was not born in the Usenet era and honestly would have like to had    
   what they had - a standard protocol for communication. This exists today    
   but guess what has happened to it, SPAM, SPAM and more SPAM.   
      
   I want an NNTP network and I know many others do as well, I surely    
   cannot be alone in a quest for a protocol which allows discussions on    
   topics with any client you want to use. Therefore I want to create a new    
   Usenet, in this proposal I shall refer to it as Usenet-Next as it needs    
   a name that people can use to relate to this proposal.   
      
      
   So how shall we make our network rid of spam. Well the thing is to be    
   strict in both the user registration process and the server    
   configurations and who our servers peer with. I am not well versed at    
   all in NNTP but that is why I'd like to get you people to mail me    
   (deavmi [at] disroot [dot] org) so we discuss the setup but also the    
   rules for the network which will be very strict and lastly how these    
   things are linked together.   
      
      
   Remember, we are not migrating Usenet but creating our own network,    
   Usenet-Next, therefore we will not have any relation to the Usenet    
   network or community, the only relation we will have is making them    
   aware of our new proposal and network.   
      
      
   I would like to save the idea of a distributed network of servers    
   tossing posts around to create a decentralized but common database of    
   news - this is Usenet. I would greatly appreciate mail from anyone who    
   would like to discuss this proposal and do some tests and setup the    
   network. I would also like to note that I am not making myself the    
   network king or anything, I just want to start the discussion.   
      
      
   I am sorry for the spam I have caused. But spam is something that is    
   useless, and this is not spam. I have contradicted myself there, sorry.    
   I just felt that this is a matter of emergency. I don't want to resort    
   to terrible centralized web forums, I love Usenet, even for the 2 days I    
   have been using it but I could not come to terms with and accept the spam.   
      
      
   Sincerely,
