200 groups?  

We do not carry:

alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* (EXCEPT the amateur groups, which we do have)
alt.binaries.pictures.tasteless
alt.*warez*

That's the list of "removed" groups around here.  Other than that, if we get
it, we carry it at present.  The ones which are not online are missing due
to either copyright or content legality concerns.

As of right now we have:
   10673   42692  459392 /usr/lib/news/active

10673 active newsgroups.

Our news is kept on 8G of dedicated disk space, and most groups expire at a
minimum of 10 days.
