I see no reason to move it either. I wasn't arawre of where it was
being hosted.

I made a quick mirror of it a couple of years ago when it looked like it
might vanish. Since Gaby is doing such a good job, I necer saw fit to
keep the mirror at retroarchive.org updated.

Sorry guys. My DSL was down all day yesterday due to Qwest
fumble-fingering a configuration change. (I think) Since I do the DNS
for retrarchive.org, it was unavailable. Sorry! This was the first
serious outage I've had in something like 4 years, so I consider myself
lucky. :)

Hehe. Thanks Mike. That bbs is pretty much un-modded and running an
older build of Synchronet. The cool thing is that I can get my FidoNet
fix (I've held the same node # since about 1990!) and my usenet fix from
the same system. :)

Gene, my mail was never ment to put your work down.
No way. We need people who react quickly to save
information.

Because it's hosted off the retroarchive.org site, the links will not work
because they're all relative, not direct.
This is what it should look like:

Gene Buckles's retroarchive.org seems to be down. Does anyone know if
it's permanent and did anyone mirror it?

I guess I should have asked Gene directly.

Hey folks, I've come to the conclusion that I no longer have the time to
properly maintain the the retroarchive.org site. I need someone that's
willing to take it over and host it. The archive is roughly 650MB in
size.
If you're interested, please contact me off the list at
geneb(a)deltasoft.com
Thanks for your time.

Not to mention the content of www.retroarchive.org is quite large, and even
with my multiple 100mb connections moving it would take a while probably,
unless the receiving host has pretty large pipes too.
