Since Google search and results was part of a recent blog I thought this was interesting.

I recently discovered asstr.org was gone. Apparently its been gone a while, but its not somewhere I went often. It did have an archive of stories called Old Joe's Collection. This had a TG section of stories from when I started reading them on Usenet. Usenet was the internet's message boards before the web was invented.

Feeling nostalgic tonight, I decided to Google Old Joe's Collection and the first result was for BC. Specifically a blog post from 2009 referring to a version of the collection on the wayback machine:

So BC came up #1 in a search for me tonight, but not for a reason I would have expected :)

It seems to have changed!

I just went on Google search and typed in: asstr. The first thing that came up was asstr, but it now appears to be: asstr.xyz, so seems to have changed its website address! It seems to be the same site when you click on it, maybe try giving that a go?

That is working on a couple of collections

The main page came up but collections wasn't working via the menu. I was able to change my bookmark to xyz and 2 out of 3 collections came up.

I had googled looking for what happened to asstr and found that it had gone away, I didn't look to see if it was brought back though, THANKS!

Anyone looking for Classic/Golden Age TG stories should check out
