narkive.com Reviews

Narkive is a website that collects, archives, and processes public data to provide easily accessible knowledge to its users in the form of threads. The content on Narkive is primarily from Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists. The website was started in late 2009 by Davide Cavion and has since been a one-man operation. Narkive’s server infrastructure is redundant and distributed to provide fast access times and high service availability. The website’s infrastructure is designed to sustain non-cached peak request rates of 500 pages per second at an average generation time of around 100ms per page. This allows Narkive to keep costs down by owning the servers and not relying on expensive cloud computing. The content sources for Narkive’s messages are primarily Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists, with a focus on newsgroups. Mailing lists were introduced more recently and are still being worked on. Narkive also mentions that if users would like to have their newsgroup or mailing list archived on the site, or if they have their own archive they would like to import, they can reach out for assistance. Additionally, Narkive is working on a NNTP read-only peering server. The website also provides information about its legal and privacy policies. Narkive’s legal section includes details about its terms of service, privacy policy, and copyright policy. The website’s privacy policy outlines how it collects, uses, and protects user information. It also provides information about cookies and third-party services. Overall, Narkive is a platform for archiving and accessing public data from Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists, and it aims to provide a valuable resource for users interested in these types of discussions and information.”
