news.qnx.com off the air?

I get the following error messages when I try to access news.qnx.com:

Your ‘comp.os.qnx’ folder was not polled for its unread count. Account:

etc., etc., etc…


Has the news server been set to disallow public read access?

I believe they archived its contents and all news messages should be through
qdn.public.* groups on inn.qnx.com
You’ll see posts on these new groups about where the archives are
