Is it too late to register? I was uber lazy back then.

I wonder if we will have NEWS server access on this TRIAL data "ponder"

 

[LazyLion]

I doubt it, think they said the accounts won't have any IS or SAIX news server access, but I stand to be corrected. :erm:

 

[[OUPA]MrNutz]

guess its going to be on their new own public ip range network and out of IS/SAIX scope for nntp access.

Astraweb FTW!!!

Or just use one of the international news servers free trial.... Giganews gives 10 Gigs free on trial.

*kicks tco21 in the nuts*

Your "laziness pays off now" not paying off now huh? whahahaahahahaha

Okay, I'm going to stop being evol..... no you cannot sign up for it now, you had plenty of time to sign up. They even extended the 5000 mark to 8000 people because of demand. Your loss. All I know is I'm getting free bandwidth....

 

[tco21]

Oh well, being bumped up to Afrihost next week anyway... Was worth a shot.
