As Alex McDonald notes in this
support request, Google has recently banned the old Usenet groups
comp.lang.forth and comp.lang.lisp from the Google Groups system.
"Of specific concern is the archive. These are some of the oldest
groups on Usenet, and the depth & breadth of the historical material that
has just disappeared from the internet, on two seminal programming
languages, is huge and highly damaging. These are the history and
collective memories of two communities that are being expunged, and it's
not great, since there is no other comprehensive archive after Google's
purchase of Dejanews around 20 years ago."
Perhaps Google can be convinced to restore the content, but it also seems
that some of this material could benefit from a more stable archive.Original article
Historic programming-language teams disappearing from Google
As Alex McDonald notes on this
help request, Google has lately banned the outdated Usenet teams
comp.lang.forth and comp.lang.lisp from the Google Teams system.
"Of particular concern is the archive. These are a few of the oldest
teams on Usenet, and the depth & breadth of the historic materials that
has simply disappeared from the web, on two seminal programming
languages, is big and extremely damaging. These are the historical past and
collective reminiscences of two communities which can be being expunged, and it is
not nice, since there is no such thing as a different complete archive after Google's
buy of Dejanews round 20 years in the past."
Maybe Google could be satisfied to revive the content material, however it additionally appears
that a few of this materials may benefit from a extra steady archive.
