  There are thousands of talk.bizarre posts dating back to the 1980s online at the following link: https://usenetarchives.com/threads.php?id=talk.bizarre In fact, the site covers most of #Usenet and hosts millions of posts overall. I haven't reviewed the site before but it seems to be legitimate and a resource comparable to Internet Archive. The site may ask you to enter a date of birth to confirm that you're an adult. However, no sign-up is required. The site is run by a developer named Jozef Jarosciak who seems to be located presently in Canada. As a single-person project, it's vulnerable to shutdown. I encourage people who know how such a project might obtain funding to contact Mr. Jarosciak. There is a contact link in the page footers. I've done so myself to find out if he's talked to Internet Archive. Speaking as somebody who was in Usenet from the start -- actually, I date back to the 1970s KAOS mailing list -- this project strikes me as important.
