Well please take a look at the small print at the bottom of my Lugnet page:
http://www.lugnet.com/~469/ It is *my* information, and keeping a copy without
my permission would be rude, and arguably (lawyers do like to argue about that
kind of stuff) breach of copyright.

If it were indeed your server, and you refused to acknowledge such copyright, I
would not use it to store my information.

Please note: I am not a lawyer, nor am I Todd Lehman, the following is just my
own personal best understanding of Lugnet's terms of use and intentions.

Note however this statement in the TOS:

7. By posting messages, uploading files, inputting data, or engaging in any
other form of communication through this service, you are granting LUGNET and
its owners a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty- free, unrestricted, non-exclusive,
worldwide license to:

(i) Use, copy, publish, sublicense, adapt, transmit, archive, restore, publicly
perform, or display any such communication in any medium, and to

(ii) Sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to exercise any or all
of the foregoing rights granted with respect to the communication.

So sorry, you've already given Lugnet permission to maintain a copy of your web
page. If this was a serious misunderstanding of Lugnet's Terms of Use, please
contact the administration team and we will do our best to resolve the
situation.

I only said it was rude and *arguably* had legal implications. That is still my
opinion. I doubt I would personally even investigate legal action if my pages
were restored after I deleted them, but it would certainly sour my taste of
Lugnet.

That brings up another point. My personal pages are stored using a version
control system. If I remove one of my pages, is the version history (for that
page) lost? Or is it just marked empty in the history?

I mean if I went and manually deleted all my pages, would there still be access
to the previous version without resorting to backup (if there is one)?

(...) AFAIK, yes. When you just set the page to a blank, it IS just another version. The older version would be availalbe for everyone to see with some arcane syntax. (19 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
