Someone should slap these guys on the head.
Today I visited the Winpdb Google Group and was shocked to see it was swamped with SPAM. I never got notifications for any of that SPAM. So, I thought what the hell, I will clear the mess in a second. I was in for a surprise. Google Groups admin panel is the worst ever created for a web service. To delete each SPAM message you need to click five (!) links, and if you also want to report the message as SPAM you need to click once more. you can’t select several discussions or messages or delete all message by a bot author.
The team members who created Google Groups should be sent to Siberia and never allowed to touch a computer again.

Google Code is pretty nice, I guess Google will improve Google Group and Code to adapt to spaming. They seem a little slow though.
This is by no means a new complaint. I have heard a number of people in the past two months complaining about Google Groups (one detailed example at http://ejohn.org/blog/google-groups-is-dead/). I haven’t had too many real problems, but that’s with small groups and mostly invitation only or limited posting.
Indeed, jQuery moving away from Google Groups:
