The groups from the primary select method show up as
foo.bar.baz
whereas the same group on a secondary server would show up as
nntp+MyNewsServer:foo.bar.baz

Just a general comment: Never ever modify any variables unless you know
what you are doing. And don't borrow code you've found on the net,
unless you can understand it!
Gnus (all of Emacs) has sane default values for anything. Start with
them. Of course, when you want to use Gnus, you have some initial setup
to do, but only for telling it where to get mail/news and how to send
it.
For example, to use Gnus for reading mail on an IMAP server (IMO, the
times of storing mail only locally are dead and gone), simply add
something like
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com"))
to your ~/.gnus.el, and login/password into ~/.authinfo.gpg. Basically,
that should be everything you need to do, at least with very recent gnus
versions.
