Works for me when selecting this group from the *Server* buffer
,----[ <f1> v gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles RET ]
| gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is 10
|
| Documentation:
| The maximum number of articles a newsgroup.
| If this is a number, old articles in a newsgroup exceeding this number
| are silently ignored. If it is nil, no article is ignored. Note that
| setting this variable to a number might prevent you from reading very
| old articles.
