If you know a hierarchy which is not listed in these pages or if you have more up-to-date information about an existing hierarchy, please send a mail to usenet-config@isc.org or post to news.admin.hierarchies so that these pages can be updated.
A text-only version of that page can also be retrieved for a control.ctl access file, PGP keys and a checkgroups. Full files are also available.

# This hierarchy is defunct. Please remove it.
Historic notes:
# In the mid-1980s, this was how all moderated newsgroups were identified. # The mod.* hierarchy was removed in the Great Renaming in 1986 when # support for moderated groups by any name was incorporated into B News. # Some people have considered restarting the concept of this hierarchy # (which tale personally thinks it is a bad idea), but as yet it has not been # done.

You can display information about up to 30 hierarchies in the row by loading a web page of the form:
http://usenet.trigofacile.com/hierarchies/comp,humanities,misc,news,rec,sci,soc,talk.html (example for the Big 8).
Information in these pages comes from INN's control.ctl, ftp.isc.org newsgroups file, the list of PGP public keys for newsgroup administration and the logs of control messages.
Those external data are used to generate this web site. To report an issue about the generation, please use the issue tracker on GitHub or post to news.admin.hierarchies.
