Every device has "retention", but retention is limited.

Whether it's a search site, or a USENET server (even Forte had
their own news server, at one time), you need retention for
older articles to be search-able either as body text, or as
a <mid>.

Now that Google Groups is no longer connected to USENET,
that's one fewer places with a decent-sized archive. Google closed
their service, after the ThaiSpam incident. The Eternal-September
server, changed from one server to a two-server setup. The
Transit Server had Spam Assassin loaded on it, removing THaiSpam,
and the second server continued to offer normal ("filtered") service.

The comp.lang.c group was one of the groups under attack. Since
Google was letting the spam in, now that Google is disconnected,
the spam is gone, and the readership on CLC has gone up.
