I'm a GMCnet forum adherent - just works better for me. Recently the GMCnet (my.birdfeeder.net) link was redirecting me - spam hijacked!
So I went to the GMCnet Archive on Google Groups for my daily fix.
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/gmcnet-archive
There were recent threads I posted replies to but my posts don't show up in a search of the GMCnet Archive. I was surprised to learn that I apparently don't exist - I'd had my doubts, but this seems conclusive!
People responded to and quoted my replies, but my posts aren't there. Very odd. I searched for other people from recent posts and found a few of them were also absent from the Archive. Some had only very old posts and not the newer stuff.
I was under the impression that the Archive was a complete history of the GMCnet and GMC Mailing List. If it is not it is troubling. What are we losing/missing?
I do not know if this is a mailing list or forum issue or both. This is a GMC Community resource so I'm asking the community to take a couple of minutes to search for their own posts on the Archive and report back if there are omissions.
Thanks
Richard
PS I was surprised to see there was no mention of the hijacked GMCnet web site. It was down for a day - initially a spam redirect then "down for maintenance".
