    The most recent post I show on RGP is from 4:08 PM.

    #3 12 years ago

    I am showing one from 3:02 PM,maybe a time zone deal,but the last post I see there is
    Pinball Inc.???-Is no reply normal?

    #4 12 years ago

    I show a couple of posts after that one, but something is definitely wrong. I'm sure it's a Google issue. The most recent WOZ post is from 4:28 PM.

    #8 12 years ago

    Looks like RGP is still down,for me anyway--what about you guys?

    RIP RPG

    I wouldn't be overly disappointed if it died,but I do get some information and some comedic relief, and for sure,the dumb-ass of the day nominations often come from the site.
    Really I don't have a big problem with it,just know your audience and sift through what you do not like.I have had some great responses about tech questions I submitted and a guy had a part I had been looking for,for almost 3 yrs.I had a response the first time I posted on RGP.

    #11 12 years ago

    Whether one is a fan of RGP or not, there is no denying that it's an invaluable resource. At this point, there is virtually no question that hasn't been asked and answered. I often use RGP to look stuff up, and it's amazing that that you can find relevant information in a post made nearly 20 years ago.

    #12 12 years ago

    Those are good point you both bring up

    #13 12 years ago

    Still seems to be not working???

    #14 12 years ago

    Does anybody here use rgparchive? While I still prefer the Googlegroups version, at least you can still see what is going on.Of course by the looks of things, that isn't very much. Maybe more people are using Googlegroups than thought?

    Quoted from Jnewton:

    Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if 80-90% of the people access RGP through Google Groups these days. I bet a lot of people don't even realize there is any other way.

    #16 12 years ago

    RGP is a newsgroup, not a site, like this one. Google groups is just one way to access RGP. About once every couple months, google groups goes down, so posts are delayed or dropped entirely.

    When it has gone down in the past it's never for more than a half a day, up to maybe a full day. I've never seen it this bad before. It's been extremely slow or out of service since around Saturday, maybe Friday.

    #17 12 years ago

    Yup, still looks down to me as of Tuesday evening PDT. I wouldn't miss it (but the tech advice and archives are very important to the hobby) and would probably rediscover things that need doing around the house...or, I could read about ebay and craigslist deals gone bad on RGP instead...oh wait, craigslist to the rescue:

    Google groups isn't down. It's just their newsgroup feed that's messed up right now. Native groups such as the WOZ group are working fine.

    What is the WOZ group ?

    Quoted from pin-tastic:

    It's a private group for people who pre-ordered a WOZ.
