Where does a guy pick up a service or softwae like that? That sounds pretty
cool. With or without spam ads.

No its all totally automated, I can configure the interval to whatever
I like but to preserve webserver resources I set it to do
synchronizations every 30 minutes. What happens is no matter where or
how someone posts into the newsgroup or however many newsgroups I
selected, it will automatically pick up those new posts or replies
and import them into the message board. It will at the same time, if
anyone posts new or reply messages within our message board they will
be then posted into the appropriate newsgroups so everyone to see no
matter how they do it, i.e. with google, outlook, etc.. Its a pretty
complicated process but it works very well.
The only part that is manual right now is removing spam posts as they
come into the message board, that way you get a nice clean version of
the newsgroups, with all the functionality of posting to them and
reading them. I am currently working on a filter that will do most of
filtering the spam before it comes in but its still got a ways to go
to be ready.

I apologize for jumping the gun earlier, its frustrating sometimes
when you love the outdoors and like give back to the outdoor
community by putting in countless hours trying to make something
better for everyone, and instead of them simplying giving it the
benefit of the doubt it is instantly made to look like you are trying
to do something wrong. I certainly would never try to pull anyone
from any newgroups, I fully support them. I have been working as a
computer engineer for over 17 years and I remember back when
everything was BBS, then newsgroups came along. I myself personally
hate wading through ads and spam trying to find a topic I want to
read, so I found a way to help let the true members of the newsgroups
take back there places. Think about it, if all those spammers new
that their ads were being filtered and not even see by anyone, how
quickly do you think they would move on and isn't it nice to ****
them off for a change!
