Newsgroups with Pictures Many Usenet newsgroups are devoted to pictures. Most of these groups have the word "binary" in their name, because pictures are stored using a binary (that is, non-text) format. For example:
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.amateurs
Some ISPs (Internet service providers) do not carry these groups because the postings take up a great deal of disk space. (Pictures require a lot more space than plain text.) In addition, some ISPs do not carry the binary groups because many of these groups contain erotic pictures. Although most of the binary groups are of this nature, there are a good number that contain non-erotic pictures such as graphics, cars, animals, sports, art, cartoons, and so on. If you want to access the Usenet picture groups but your current news server is inadequate, you may want to subscribe to a news service that specializes in such groups. Here are a few services that will give you access to all the Usenet binary groups:
