It doesn't seem to go back to beyond 2005.

Google have not deleted their archive - only not updated it since the
second. So anything prior to then you can still find in google, and you
can still post from there. Recent stuff you will need to find from
elsewhere.

So is anyone still doing this. it seems a great shame if nobody is doing it
as it could be a great resource for historians in the future. No good if its
got a huge hole in it.

At least Google say it's just a blip, which they're fixing, rather than
a policy change, which was what I was worried about.

There are a few web archives like myreader but how long they'll hang
around is anyone's guess. I wonder whether any of the usenet based
companies like giganews is quietly maintining an archive?

I noticed!

UseNet may be declining, but the number of websites each usenet
message is repeated on is amazing.

Several times I've google a topic, found an interesting on-line forum
with useful information, only to discover that it's no such thing:
it's just a web copy of a usenet discussion. Usually this isn't
apparent - until you find your own worse on a site you've never
visited!

Cheers,
David.
