Hi folks
 
I am having a change in personal circumstances in the coming months
that means I will be unable to keep my hobby NNTP server running for
the medium term.
 
I wanted to signal to all the systems I am peered with that my plan
is to shut down news.bbs.nz on 31 July (New Zealand time)
 
I do intend to restart the server down the track but don't see this
happening for around 18-24 months after I shutter things soon.
 
I do hope to see you all again in Usenet again soon and thank
everyone who has peered with my system over the many years we've be
running :)
 
Best, Paul
 

That's a shame. Are you not just able to let it run on life support? It
might be easier then trying to catchup after 2 years? As long as
there's disk space, there's very little maintenance.
