Was there a WLDG note purge?

Anyone know if the WLDG decided to purge their old tasting note database, or if they moved it somewhere? I used to be able to put in a name in the search the site field and up would pop notes, but no more. Nothing comes up.
 
Scroll down after doing the search. There's a lot of blank space at the top of the notes and on my screen at least none of the results show up on screen.

Doh!
 
And I would have responded sooner except that the question had already been answered.

The search engine still functions, and can retrieve information from times long past. We have no intention of taking the data down or hiding it behind an electronic wall.

But Joe - what is it about the wine interweb that causes people to be so fearful (or alternately - disdainful) of discussions that might mention another board? I'm honestly curious. We all love wine.
 
When I go to someone's house and they ask that I take my shoes off before entering, I go ahead and do that.

When I participate on a wine board that asks that discussions not veer into wondering about the ways and where fors of other wine boards, I go ahead and respect that.

It really isn't that much to ask. But then I am a go along to get along type of guy.

A) No one asked that.

B) It would be juvenile if they did.

C) I'm the kind of guy that ignores stupid requests. Ymmv.

Fear and disdain are in your mind on this one, David, not mine. It just seemed logical to me that if I were opening up my browser to ask a question about the WLDG that the expertise on that subject might lie more on the WLDG than here.
 
Does anyone know where I can find a new intake manifold for my Alfa? I was going to ask on Alfabb.com but I thought I'd try here first since people here seem to like cars.
 
Well at least you just asked for car help. I'm always amused by folks on the web who will ask for legal or medical advice on a wine board, a photography board, etc.

A) Read the FAQ

B) No it wouldn't be junvenile, but this response of yours is

C) Ditto

Levi-

This board, by way of Wine Therapy, owes its existence to the WLDG by way of Robin Garr's actions over there eleven years ago. Many of us here left as a result, haven't looked back and have had zero interaction with that board in years, thus it would be a little awkward to suddenly post a question there. As it so happens, it's much easier trying to find something in Coad's old write-ups using the search function over there than it is on his own website, which lacks a search function.

Perhaps if you understood the history of this place and realized the intro was really about RP, aside from the fact that what's mentioned in the faq deals with griping/complaining about somewhere else, not general discussions, you wouldn't blather about trying to enforce rules that you had nothing to do with. It really isn't your place, Levi.
