Hi,

formerly ruby-talk was mirrored by [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com),  
apparently it's not anymore.

Was this changed by intention?  
Does anybody know something about this?

Regards,  
Marcus

The gateway ruby-forum.com -\> ruby-talk was shut down intentionally as  
far as I can remember. The reverse gateway just stopped working some  
time. If my memory is correct, the shutdown of the ruby-forum.com -\>  
ruby-talk gateway has even been announced on this mailinglist, so you  
should be able to dig it out of the mail archives somewhere.

Likewise the ruby-talk \<-\> comp.lang.ruby gateway to Usenet has also  
been closed officially (although that was long before the ruby-forum.com  
gateway was closed).

By the way, I think it is still incorrectly advertised on  
ruby-lang.org. We ought to fix that 🙂

Greetings  
Marvin

Maybe when the list was switched to GNU Mailman...
