comp.std.c++

[Joe Gottman]

It's now been six months since comp.std.c++ went down. According to
Google Groups the last post was on January 9th. Does anybody have any
information on when it might come back, or even exactly what went wrong?

The moderation software for comp.std.c++ was hosted on my account on a
machine at the University of Melbourne. The university removed my
account, and I have not found time
to do anything about it. My sincere apologies to all of the users of
comp.std.c++.

My life circumstances have changed quite a bit in the years since I
first volunteered to
run the comp.std.c++ moderation software. Back then I was a postgrad
student with lots of time. Since then, I now have a few more
committments... a job, a wife, a daughter.

If someone else wanted to take on the role, I would be quite happy to
relinquish it.

Can you re set it to unmoderated until there is some one else to take
over?
