Yep. You may find those groups are still being hosted by other news servers.

Switch to another free NNTP server, like Albasani or Eternal-September,
or find a really cheap one, like individual.net ($16USD/yr). Microsoft
is dropping their microsoft.public.* newsgroups, and eventually they'll
kill off their NNTP server, too.
