[IBC] ADMIN: Old archives
A question that is asked more out of curiosity than necessity:
Is anyone still saving each month's archives as that month passes? Our archives go back 2 1/2 - 3 years (currently to Oct. 2000), and are added to in monthly increments of between 2 and 3 mb each. Since our archive storage is set at 100 mb, and I like to keep 25 mb open for "emergencies" and a safety net, I am deleting the oldest month about once every 2 months now. I know that someone had stored "old archives" on their home machine and has made them accessible via our website. Are you still adding to them? Herb: You were having someone collect all the old archives; did that occur? I almost never use the archives, so it doesn't really matter to me, but I know that some folks use them regularly. I suppose, to them, it would be nice if _someone_ had them all -- somewhere. The answers are not crucial to anything, but a curious mind simply wants to know. For those who don't know about our archives, you can find them at: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/Archives/bonsai.html Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL -- Bonsai List manager ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Try: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ec.arts.bonsai Hit the button to 'search rec.arts.bonsai only'-- that adds "group:rec.arts.bonsai" to the search box when you enter it. After that, I found it helpful to "sort by data" though Google Groups also offfers a "sort by relevance." You can put in a name of t he poster or even the a word used within a posting (not just words from a post's title). There is also an "Advanced Search" for seeking combinations. FWIW, on April 1, 1993, news.announce.newgroups reported that "rec.arts.bonsai is an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for creation by 189:22 (source: http://www.landfield.com/software/ft...ec.arts.bonsai). Mike Barto lone posted a proposal for establishment of the r.a.b group on February 1, 1993 (source: http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/...ec.arts.bonsai). Mike noted then, "Currently, discussion of the art of bonsai is c arried out in the BONSAI mailing list, AND in alt.bonsai.

Somewhere I picked-up that the alt.bonsai newsgroup began in August 1992, but the earliest posts I could readily locate were by Richard K. Nordin in September 1992. Maybe someone can find when the term "Internet Bonsai Club" replaced the "bonsai mail(ing) list" as a reference. The "tipped tree logo" discussion is probably easily traced.

Chris, thanks for this, I'll see how I can use it.
I don't want to have to manually download and translate all that in a format usable by our new site :-/ Nic "You must deal with me as I think of myself" J.

Thanks for that, Chris.
Looks like a cleaner way to review recent posts as well.

What other discussions carried significance for IBC's history? Cool... :-) Best wishes, Chris... C. Cochrane, , Richmond VA USA Chris: In an idle moment I went back and did a search on this. This is what I came up with. The earliest reference that I could find to "Internet Bonsai Club" was in an email from Mike Bartolone on Dec. 133, 1994 wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Then I found this interesting post from July 24, 1995 in an apparent discussion about the possibility of a paper newsletter for the IBC (!): +++++++++++++++++++++++++ In article Bob writes: After reading the posts on organizing this group I must confess that I feel a little perturbed. In my opinion part of the beauty and power of this medium is the ability for anyone to gain access immediately and for free. All of the listed benefits can be gained by anyone by joining one of the organized bonsai groups. Maybe I'm not seeing the big picture but my two cents says if it isn't broken don't try to fix it! I tend to agree with you. The Internet Bonsai Club is really just a nifty label Dan Cw started on the bonsai web page site at WSU for lack of nothing else to call the W3 site and this newsgroup. But when enough people take a label like the 'Internet Bonsai Club' seriously and even publish it in good ole fashioned paper form in order to give none computer bonsai-ers a more tangible concept to grasp...the idea kind of sticks around. I don't see any reason why the Internet Bonsai Club can't still grow in free form. Other Bonsai web sites are starting to sprout. Perhaps even BCI and ABS will have homepages of their own in the future and hence become part of the Internet Bonsai Club just by existing on the Internet. But the idea of how to identify Bonsai Internetters at bonsai functions in the real world still fascinates many of us. Some of us (like me), still prefer to remain anonymous at real world events. Best regards, Geoline Havener-Memphis Bonsai Society Editor ++++++++++++++++++++++ Being interested in history I always enjoy going back to primary sources, so this was fun, considering I don't recognize the names of these early people. Out of curiosity, who on the list was involved at this early stage? I saw a post from Iris Cohen fro m sometime in 1995. Anyone else?

Craig Cowing It was very amusing to discover that Geoline was such a shrinking violet! I remember, back in 1995, when I'd get a whopping total of 10-12 emails a day from the IBC. I had to ask someone what "LOL" meant. Does the online archive go back that far?

Dearest Nina - from Anita's personal excessively large archive!
The bonsamurai rides again.. how is the ol' Swede doing, one wonders? I heard from him at Christmas, I think. He's doing well, and he lurks here sometimes, as does Geoline. I haven't heard from Dan Cw. in a long time. Of course I still miss Hud Nordin and the Haikumatic. And if anyone wonders where Phil "life is a blur of meat and Republicans" Stevens is, he's in China, where he's seeing some wonderful Penjing. Nina, an oooooold timer. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Dale Cochoy++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

I had occasion to Google for my oldest post to the group the other day: May 23, 1994 (it was an introduction and blather about using native trees for bonsai). That was pre-IBC. Dan Cw isn't Cw any more. Anyone recall the new moniker he (legally) changed it to?

The only poster now reaching back to the beginning of the list (April 1993)
is Kitsune Miko (formerly SandyV). Posting in May 1994, I think you are next oldest, Jim. It appears that Roger Case posted first in September, Iris in November & Nina in December 1994.
