Thumbs up to you Gilby on an excellent job! I installed it a few days ago and everything is working great...except for a few minor internal issues! I tried the other usenet hack, but it seemed to be way to slow (don't know why). I only retrieve one newsgroup (rec.games.pinball) for my site right now, but the initial 4,200 messages came through in about 2 minutes! Each update (every 4-6 hours) takes less than 20 seconds! My updates are spread out that long because I can't get the crontab working for some reason. No biggie... I'll figure it out!

Here is what I am running:
- vBulletin 2.2.0
- vBPortal 3.0pr7
- Mammothnews.net server

I have been a member of Mammothnews.net for about 2 years now, and for only $9.95/mo, I get EVERYTHING! I was tired of incomplete binary multi-threads (especially when downloading MAME games)!

Anyway, here is a list of things I'd like to see in your upcoming versions (all relate to vBulletin and all were able in other usenet hack):
- As mentioned a few posts above, 'isusenetthread' as a table field would be very helpful so that usenet posts AND threads could not be counted on the forum homepage.
- Ability to not show new usenet posts when 'Get New Posts' is clicked.

Other than that, everyone loves being able to access rec.games.pinball from my site now! It is the only means for some to access the newsgroup at work (on their lunch hour of course ). Keep up the great work!
