8FOLD/META: Where Do The Old Stories Go? (and, the 8fold Wiki)

[Scott Eiler]

In my recent RACCies research, I have searched my six-year treasure 
trove of old RACC posts for old Eightfold stories.  But I must admit, 
sometimes my Usenet browser tells me that some old posts have expired, 
so I let it delete them.  So I don't have a lot of Eightfold post 
history.  It's difficult (if not impossible) to find that on Google 
Groups also.  I may have stumbled upon some last week, but I can't do it 
on demand tonight.

Effects (for instance):  I find it difficult to find character reference 
on Rainshade.  For now, I can explore http://wil.alambre.ca/racc and 
find old Rainshade stories...  But that may be defeating some greater 
purpose.

Tom, since you have published some of these stories in professional 
media, I understand letting the public posts of the old stories expire. 
Do you do this?  If so...  How long is the retention period?

And, while I was researching...  I found 
http://eightfold.wikia.com/wiki/8fold_Wiki , which is up to date into 
the early part of 2010.  (I recognize Dr. Fay.)  I call this page to the 
8fold community's attention, because even I can update articles on 
wikia.com .
