My (and others') E-S newsgroups lost most of their content, only
recent messages were kept. Someone will try to restore them but it
takes time, three weeks for a start. See in e-s.support.

Most of the newsgroups I subscribe to now only retain articles back to
June 29, 2024. Retention used to be way back to 2022. As you can see,
I use Xnews. I've tried "Refresh Headers Special", but none of the
older articles comes back.

Wonder if this will be fixed.

Ray Banana, the E-S Admin, is working on it; it's a big job.
As mentioned, see eternal-september.support for details.

Thanks. I was looking for a 'support' tab on www.eternal-september.org.
Finally realized to go to the newsgroup you cite.

Looks like Ray Banana has a big job. Hope it's not toast.
Besides rec.arts.comics.creative, I don't entirely care about conserving
old messages, but I do hope he can get everything sorted out and we
won't lose more recent messages in the jump ^^

Learnt the hard way after losing interesting messages. If you want to
keep old messages, copy them to a folder on _your_ computer. Server
problems and closures will not bother you anymore.

And make a backup to an external disk to be doubly sure. I still have
messages from 2014 here.

P.S. I don't read NSR, but this discussion is more relevant to that NG.
So I don't set a follow-up, because I'd like to read the continuation.
Right, I use slrn's built in "save message" option.
