Apparently the relationship between Playboy and Manwin is on real shaky ground right now - especially now since Playboy Radio has been removed from Sirius XM in the past week.

I didn't know the newsgroups still existed. I haven't been on them in many years, but I remember having to wade through all the spam. I was a Playboy subscriber for a while, but eventually tired of their prudish attitudes about not showing explicit photos. The overly glammed up look of the models got old too.

Newsgroups are still around.
I used to collect Playboy Playmate photos years ago.
I just rejoined a newsgroup yesterday, because I was frustrated at how much time and effort it takes to collect Playmate photos from Playboy Plus. It was at least 5 years or more since I was a newsgroup member.
I have to learn how to use a newsreader again, and there are other methods I have to learn. But to build a collection of Playboy Playmates, and to organize it, newsgroup access is still so much easier and less time-consuming than trying to use Playboy Plus.

I wish you luck, lk2fireone! I gave up on the usenet for good because it was full of spam and contained very little of interest because the most prolific posters had moved on to other ways of doing their thing, unless you were lucky to get a news server that is retaining its articles for years! In that case you might be able to get a few picture sets but, I would almost guarantee, nothing new..

Thanks.
It's been years since I was a newsgroup member. So I have to re-learn how to use them.
The main thing I have to worry about is catching a virus or other malware.
But I need a newsgroup reader that's easy to use.
And some other things, to make it easy to use.

I never got a virus or malware in all the years I subscribed to the usenet, but that's because I stuck with jpgs. As I hear they haven't found a way yet on how to infect those files. My news reader of choice was XNews. It is way outdated now but was very easy to use and is still available.

i also used XNews. But it stopped updating years ago. And now, to use SSL, you have to use some other program with it. And it's for 32-bit computers, and mine is a 64-bit. And there are other reasons it's outdated.
So I have been playing around with some newreaders, but none are as simple as XNews was.
NewFlash Plus is free, easy to use. But when you download a file, for example, a JPG file, it opens an instance of the file, as well as downloads it.
I have an anti-virus program, Norton Internet Security, but if the files open at the same time that they download, then I think that is a security risk.
I want to download files, scan them for malware, BEFORE I open them.
That's what I do, even from sites I trust, like my paid pornsites: Metart, Diesel Access network, TMW, whatever.
I read years back you can use a stenography program and encode a virus inside a picture of any extension. Jpeg, jpg, bmp, etc.
By "you", I don't mean me and you, but someone who has hacking skills.
