The comp.lang.fortran newsgroup is very active and can be accessed from your favorite news reader via a Usenet server provided by your internet service provider or university, if available, or via Google Groups.
Usenet: news:comp.lang.fortran
Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran
If your ISP or University doesn’t provide a Usenet server, a very good free service is provided by dotsrc.org (formerly SunSITE.dk). Information about registering can be found at http://dotsrc.org/usenet/. It carries all open-source related groups, which includes comp.*
, and thus comp.lang.fortran
.
Another free server, without authentication, is news.uni-stuttgart.de
(tested in February 2023).
