A newsgroup is a place where messages and files are left and can be read or downloaded by anyone with the correct software. The length of time the message remains varies depending on the individual newsgroup.

Newsgroups have been largely replaced by mailing lists and discussion forums. Both generally require you to register before posting messages and thus this can be used to prevent unwanted persons from reading and posting messages.
