Usenet Archive Toolkit – process Usenet messages into a searchable archive

Could be useful to pre-populate and bootstrap a fresh personal use server/service... I would love to see a return to more Usenet usage, as well as more semi-private BBS style networks transported over NNTP instead of FTN/Binkley protocols... These days most BBS systems are mostly local sysops and maybe a couple other sysops as users. I do think there's room for some modernization, but even then, I'd love to see a comeback. Especially as the powers that be are progressing towards forcing ID verification on common social media sites... not that I have anything to hide, and I at least have #1A rights still, but so many around the world simply don't.

Let's not. Many youthful indiscretions in there.

Looks like a lovely way to recreate at home the Torment Nexus that DejaNews inflicted on us all those years ago. This tool doesn’t seem to have code recognizing X-No-Archive headers, which tracks. Why are people so insistent on having machine-generated indexes? Sigh.
