Both https://cmacleod.me.uk and https://www.novabbs.com/ are web
frontends for Usenet servers with limited retention and daily expiry
runs, so they do not qualify as Usenet archives, IMNSHO.

I'm surprised limited retention is a thing for servers providing only
text newsgroups at this point. The usenet-historical archive (which
appears to be a copy of the Google Groups archive up to around 2013) is
apparently only 2.62TB uncompressed.

Hello I searched on some of those and none carry our hispagatos.*
or alt.2600.madrid who do I contact to ask them to please peer those
newsgroups ? I looked for an email but was not able to see it, maybe
need better glasses :D :D

En La Lucha.
