2.4: Is there an archive of newsgroup postings?

The very-nearly-complete and unabridged archives of posts to both interactive fiction newsgroups are stored on the IF-Archive [What is the IF-Archive?: 6.1] at /if-archive/rec.arts.int-fiction/ . (Unfortunately there is a gap in the records between January 1997 and mid-1999.) The rec.arts.int-fiction archives have been converted to HTML, and are on the Web, fully indexed and linked by date and by thread, at <http://bang.dhs.org/if/raif/>.

If you are looking for the most recent posts, check out <http://groups.google.com/>. Google Groups' archive goes back to 1995.

Postings to rec.games.int-fiction are similarly archived on the IF-Archive, in the directory /if-archive/rec.games.int-fiction/ . They have not been HTMLized, and rec.games.int-fiction is available from "Google Groups".
