It's indeed weird. A time warp happened?

Well ES has been having hickups this time of night for the last few
days.
The posts usual do propagate after 9PM

Cheers

Out of curiosity:

Is Usenet still working properly?

Not in my opinion. Several newsgroups seem to have a glitch that
began about 7-17. I might expect a day or two to go by without a post
to some of the less frequented groups, but what I'm seeing is a
blackout.

What server are you using? I'm on astraweb and using their plain
vanilla US server.

There are just tremendous amount of off-topic advertisements, very much
like volcano eruption, ashes flying everywhere. (The Ark?)

Can you remember when was it all started?

began about 7-17 or 7-18

alt.hvac is also hit

Some of the religious and political groups seem unaffected, but they
have so much traffic normally, that it would be hard to tell if half
of it went away.

I haven't seen any references to it on Google so it may be localized.

I tried the European server on astraweb but there's no difference.
