Thanks for the compliments on OCC.
You are right that the
newsgroups are "hit and miss". Most of them are not moderated, so there is not much quality control. On the flip side, you can find a lot of things there that we don't allow here. For instance, watermarked photos & videos and material that was "borrowed" from pay sites and reposted on the newsgroups.
Another tip: When you find a group you want to follow. you can add it to your "My Guba" page. That way you can access it directly without having to find it in the menus again. It's like creating a page of favorites or bookmarks.
Thanks,
