Default aioe server retention

After the recent unreliability of eternal-september's server, I began using
the aioe server for newsgroups. But, it seems that retention for aioe posts
is much shorter than eternal-september.

For instance, this post is still on eternal-september, but not on aioe.

Yes.

Server retention varies from 2 days to 10 years,
depending on the commercial or free nature of the
server, how many disk drives and server rooms it has.
The commercial ones are the ones with ten year
retention. The commercial ones receive 800GB movie
uploads per day, by single individuals.

Google Groups is "almost infinity", but it isn't run by
knowledgeable people, with any purpose in mind,
so don't count on that for any normal purpose.
Some groups there are in "archive state", which
means new articles are no longer being added.
Practically no administration is done on that
setup - there are never any improvements or
corrections to shortcomings (this group is *not*
archived on Google Groups, as an example).

The AIOE admin sets retention low, because the disk in
the colo is only so big. And so the retention on
the various groups, has to be adjusted accordingly.
Commercial servers use much bigger disk farms,
redundant back ends and so on. You can buy a block
account from a commercial operation, or pay a monthly
fee with a certain max number of connections to the
server. You're paying for bandwidth, bandwidth cap,
and retention, when you select a server to do business
with.
