I have no idea why it’s gone, but it was a mirror for the rspec-users  
list at rubyforge:

[http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users](http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users)

Which you can also access through nabble:

[http://www.nabble.com/rspec-users-f17460.html](http://www.nabble.com/rspec-users-f17460.html)

I’ll see if I can find out what happened.

Cheers,  
David

I absolutely don’t know what has happend. I didn’t changed anything on  
the group or my account (I’m the group owner / was).  
I’ve already contacted the google support to help with getting it  
back. After checking the help group it seems that this is not the only  
group that got lost since first october.  
I’ll keep you up to date…

happend, but most of the guys who had problems with their groups since  
first October are lucky again, too…

google groups seems to do that every now and again. The ruby on rails  
talk group disappeared for a day or two a month or two ago.
