It is an experimental feature in oGnus.  Only unknown or killed groups
are listed at level 9, and others groups are listed at the end of the
buffer if you use topic mode.  You may type `^ SPC' to list groups in
the old way, or (setq gnus-server-browse-in-group-buffer nil) to
disable the feature.

You can access killed groups. At least, I did it.
