1. A method, comprising:
- selecting, via a processor, a newsgroup for analysis in a retention evaluation of a service provided by a newsgroup server hosting the newsgroup, the selecting of the newsgroup based on a size threshold, the retention evaluation to be performed by the processor by;
calculating, via the processor, a retention score for the service by determining an amount of time between an oldest post available via the newsgroup and a newest post available via the newsgroup;
comparing, via the processor, the retention score to a retention threshold, wherein the retention threshold is a predetermined amount of time set via the processor; and
assessing, via the processor, a retention grade based on the comparison; and
generating, via the processor, a quality report for the service provided by the newsgroup server based on the retention grade.
