Hi -
I recall posting here around 1998 or 1999; now, after an absence of some
years, I reload the group and find the old articles gone. I was under the
impression that they were all stored on the server - was there a disk crash
or other catastrophe?

Could be your newsreader? On the web interface I can see messages as old as
1998, for example:

Craig,
They appear to go back to Jan 1999
See http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/?ttop=239683&toff=10250
What author name were you using and did you post in '99?
You can always Google 'site:news.povray.org authorname' to discover
everything you ever posted.
You can always post to povray.off-topic :)

This would be beautiful, but is not quite true.
Example from my own ramblings:
http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3C3cdb6b98%40news.povray.org%3E/
SHOULD show if you Google 'site:news.povray.org Anders julia',
but doesn't !
Have a nice weekend

Nope, it shows if you google Anders julia_fractal though, so the search does
go back that far.

The earliest message that shows up in my newsreader (Mozilla
Thunderbird) is dated 12/13/1998 12:19 PM, from Jerome M. BERGER, titled
"Re: The Plane (91K)".
Did you want something earlier than that?

This is true in general - but, already in back in 2000 when I just
discovered povray.binaries.imagesm I noticed that a large chunk of
1999's messages (about eight months) went lost... not to mention 1998,
of which only the last days of December exist on the server!
See you on www.khyberspace.de !

It's not just as far back as that. I was looking for an animation post called
the graveyard shift that I made in 2003. I can find replies to the post but my
original one and the animation has gone. A shame for me as I lost the original
in a HD crash.

Stephen

Interesting... The oldest message that shows up in my copy of
Thunderbird is dated 01/04/1980. (Irrelevant, but interesting.) :-)
