So, I think this subforum will be folded into the GURPS one in 1 to 6 months.

I joined after the WWII sub-forum was folded into GURPS, but I wanted to read its content. I've spent quite a bit of time finding as many of the WWII threads as possible and tagging them; tagging Traveller threads while you can still get at them easily will save work later. |

Re: Was the 15th the last issue of JTAS?
What was the name of the newsgroup? The posts might still be available on Google Groups, as Google bought the old Deja News archive. There's also a couple of other Usenet archives (though I've never used them).

It wasn't a Usenet group; we ran a private news server.

Re: Was the 15th the last issue of JTAS?
I'm certain the majority of it if not the entirety could be recovered with the cooperation of previous subscribers whose newsreaders have retained the buffered postings.
Perhaps SJG would consider allowing some of us plebes to gather the old posts and prepare them for assimilation on our volunteered time, similar to the way lead playtesters were allowed to gather and digest playtest comments for manuscript authors? I can contribute my skills from having completed similar data recovery projects, and this might go some way toward making up for some of the lost subscription length. |
