Looks like today is the day they finally get rid of the old version of
google groups for the new crappy version.

Here are some links for the old About pages for RACC:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.comics.creative/about

And various newsgroups for old LNH posts:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comics.lnh/about
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.comics/about
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.comics.misc/about

Hopefully they won't get rid of these.

Ugh, it's reloading endlessly. :/ Who, exactly, wanted this again?

It seems to have reverted to the old version today so I don't know what
is up.

And for me, it's showing the new version without option to revert. x,x
Bluh.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, and the about page is still infinitely
redirecting.

Was doing various searches for stuff to see how well searching worked
and noticed that you can read all of Abhay's posts on RACC now.

So if you've ever wanted to read those old Refugees of Net.ropolis and
Guttertrash issues... now's your chance!

Hopefully the changes will not be *too* drastic. The http://wil.alambre.ca/racc site is currently populated by Google Groups' plain-text entries. It seems to be working so far, but I'll have to keep an eye on it. It would be a gigantic pain in the ass if I had to rebuild my scripts :/

As I suspected, the change in Google Groups threw a monkey wrench in my website's scripts. Luckily, I was able to do some testing and update those scripts without too much trouble. Everything seems to be working properly… for now *crosses fingers*
