[DMCForum] DML Archives. (was: Ricer....)

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Because it's a "SonnyV" post, that may explain why it's deleted...

I can't remember if I posted this to the original thread or not, but
this was a funny website (back when it used to get updated), and had a
great FAQ section. Even the webmaster who was Asian stated himself in
his own FAQ that "Ricer", or "Rice-Rocket" is NOT a racist term.

http://www.riceboypage.com/

Aside from all this, I am having a REALLY difficult time searching the
archives. The online search utility on the DMCNews website doesn't
seem to be including messages posted from the year 2000, and newer.
And the search utility that Yahoo! Groups uses online, is absolutely
horrible. It will only search a couple hundred messages at a time.

Anyone know who maintains that archives? I have this problem with
searching them every time I need to research something for either an
online thread (like this one), or an offline discussion. And it's
really getting to be a pain in my ass having to use this tedious
search utility from Yahoo! Groups.
