The Paradox Community newsgroups are the heart of the community.  For a description of what a newsgroup is, check out the information on Google Groups, which has some background information and also some interesting historical content on Usenet itself.

The newsgroups exist so users can ask and answer questions, discuss programming and design techniques and technology issues.  As is the case whenever people come together, topics tend to range freely, so there is much more in the newsgroups than just Paradox Paradox Community Newsgroups

Postable HTML version
