Anybody knows why this seamonkey newsgroup is no longer available via Google
groups? They say:
The group named mozilla.support.seamonkey has been removed because it
violated Google's Terms Of Service.
No more explanations. :-(
That's a pity because I found it always very convenient to browse through
the discussions there. I used the direct NNTP access only when I wanted to
post something myself (like this message ;-)

I filed a bug on this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720223
Now, if, somebody manages to 'resurrect' the *Google* group
mozilla.support.seamonkey what kind of mess will be the result?
There will be the 'official' newsgroup mozilla.support.seamonkey hosted on the
Mozilla news server.
There will be the 'Google' group mozilla.support.seamonkey hosted at Google and
There may be the/an Internet newsgroup mozilla.support.seamonkey (if one has
gotten created within that structure)
Items posted on 'official' newsgroup will be picked up by the other two.
Discussions posted to Google will probably remain locked up within Google and
things posted to the Internet newsgroup mozilla.support.seamonkey will get
passed on to those hosts which receive that newsgroup. They may get picked up
by Google. But will probably not make it to the Mozilla news server.
(This last situation was the case with the Netscape newsgroups, where there were
any number of postings floating around but not getting archived to the
'official' collection.)
So of what benefit is it create/resurrect the Google group named
mozilla.support.seamonkey? Certainly let, encourage, Google to archive and
mirror the content on the Mozilla news server, but not to set up a private
group with private contents.
