https://rocksolidbbs.com
https://novabbs.org
They allow free access via Tor and I2P.
So I pointed Chrome to both those URLs (which resolve to the same IP).
I registered with my email address & they sent a verification code. https://rocksolidbbs.com/common/register.php & now I have a user/password.
Now what?
I read their FAQ but it doesn't say how to post to this newsgroup with it. https://rocksolidbbs.com/common/faq.txt
I looked for port addresses (such as news.rocksolidbbs:563 or something).
In their forums I found mention of an "i2p" address in this thread. https://rocksolidbbs.com/rocksolid/article-flat.php?id=597&group=rocksolid.shared.general#597
A typical message in that thread is reproduced below.
"The server you need to connect to is the inn server here:
cm6lpd....3hcq.b32.i2p" (the dots make it useless for me)
Where the dots obviously obscure the actual server address.
But even if I did have the full server address, what do I do next?
I googled for I2P software on Windows and the main link seems to be https://geti2p.net/en/download
And since I never heard of I2P I had to look it up where this says it's similar to TOR but it's using hidden services eatsites which end with the
dot i2p using a "garlic" routing which makes everyone the routing hosts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhG29riqVUE
Now that I know a little bit about what i2p is, I still don't know how to post to this a.f.n newsgroup using that rocksolidbbs account they gave me.
Is there just some address such as rocksolidbbs:563 with my new user/pass that I can set my newsreader to so that I can post to this a.f.n newsgroup?

I use ES, and it just works, but the groups are limited though. I recently sprang for a NewsDemon account, and headers aren't updating properly there, and it's depressing to see just how many groups are straight up dead or full of spam.
