One thing worth a quick check inside is the directory news/art/control If the articles were cancelled maliciously from the outside by forgery (somehow) of cancel-request messages from <news@lugnet.com>, this directory would contain a log of (...)

(...) Aw, man, I hear that. If only we'd kept a fork of RTL on here as an archive -- then it would still all be accessible. I think that was actually suggested or considered at one point, but the problem was huge volumes of spam, which was one of (...) (1 month ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Thanks for the quick restoral, Jerry! I wonder if it's possible to do a 'diff' on the tree of articles (old/new, where "old" points at the backup) to see if any others accidentally went missing (ignoring files that match the name "1" or "2")?

(...) It's a pretty funny coincidence, actually. I'd been going over old archives of RTL(1) and then more recently LUGNET(2) as it came into being in 1998. At the same time, I happened to be chatting with Todd about something completely unrelated, (...) (1 month ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hi Suz, yeah, the ads became more and more annoying as well as disconnected to the other LUGNET content - if they can't provide delivery of relevant ads, we're better off not placing ads at all. Ads actually used to be sort of relevant and (...) (1 month ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Wow! Thanks for noticing and pointing out that these have gone missing. (...) There's actually no expiry mechanism for LUGNET news articles. However, it's possible to cancel an article on a case-by-case basis using a script internally. The (...) (1 month ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

Hi, I just noticed that articles n=1 and n=2 seem to have expired from each newsgroup. Those are the Welcome/charter and Terms of Use posts, respectively. Is this due to some intentional administrative action, or is there any concern that additional (...) (1 month ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general) !
