Usenet news
/yoos'net/ or /yooz'net/ (Or "Usenet news", from
"Users' Network") A distributed bulletin board system and
the people who post and read articles thereon. Originally
implemented in 1979 - 1980 by Steve Bellovin, Jim Ellis, Tom
Truscott and Steve Daniel at Duke University, and supported
mainly by Unix machines, it swiftly grew to become
international in scope and, before the advent of the web,
probably the largest decentralised information utility in
existence.
Usenet encompassed government agencies, universities, high
schools, businesses of all sizes and home computers of all
descriptions. As of early 1993, it hosted over 1200
newsgroups ("groups" for short) and an average of 40
megabytes (the equivalent of several thousand paper pages) of
new technical articles, news, discussion, chatter, and
flamage every day. By November 1999, the number of groups
had grown to over 37,000.
To join in, you need a {Usenet provider
(https://www.usenetstorm.com)}. Originally you needed a {news
reader} program but there are now several web gateways,
cheifly Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/)
(originally Deja News). Some web browsers used to include
news readers and URLs beginning "news:" referred to Usenet
newsgroups.
Network News Transfer Protocol is a protocol used to
transfer news articles between a news server and a {news
reader}. In the beginning, not all Usenet hosts were on the
Internet. The uucp protocol was sometimes used to
transfer articles between servers, though this became
increasingly rare with the spread of the Internet.

usenet
(jargon) | Usenet
/yoos'net/, /yooz´net/, n.
[from ‘Users' Network’; the original spelling was USENET, but the
mixed-case form is now widely preferred] A distributed bboard (bulletin
board) system supported mainly by Unix machines. Originally implemented in
1979--1980 by Steve Bellovin, Jim Ellis, Tom Truscott, and Steve Daniel at
Duke University and the University of North Carolina, it has swiftly grown
to become international in scope and is now probably the largest
decentralized information utility in existence. As of late 2002, it hosts
over 100,000 newsgroups and an unguessably huge volume of new technical
articles, news, discussion, chatter, and flamage every day (and that
leaves out the graphics...).
By the year the Internet hit the mainstream (1994) the original UUCP
transport for Usenet was fading out of use — almost all Usenet connections
were over Internet links. A lot of newbies and journalists began to refer
to “Internet newsgroups” as though Usenet was and always had been just
another Internet service. This ignorance greatly annoys experienced
Usenetters.

usenet death penalty
(jargon) | Usenet Death Penalty
[Usenet] A sanction against sites that habitually spew Usenet spam. This
can be either passive or active. A passive UDP refers to the dropping of
all postings by a particular domain so as to inhibit propagation. An active
UDP refers to third-party cancellation of all postings by the UDPed domain.
A partial UDP is one which applies only to certain newsgroups or
hierarchies in Usenet. Compare Internet Death Penalty, with which this
term is sometimes confused.
