Maybe the server renumbered the articles.  Then Gnus thinks that
articles 1 through 40,000, say, are read, but according to the new
numbering there are just articles 1 through 500 on the server.

Please check with telnetting to the server and issuing GROUP
commands -- the server will respond with lowest and highest article
number.  You could also try to fetch some articles to see how old are
they.

If this is indeed the problem, try M-x gnus-group-clear-data RET (for
one group) or M-x gnus-group-clear-data-on-native-groups RET.  (For
all groups!  Be careful!)
