I remember there used to be such a forum on the SSA web site.
Apparently it was lost

I don't think it was lost, but discarded because it was so little used.
This was particularly noticable during the Sanderson episode, when
everyone used ras instead of the SSA newsgroups.

when the site was "upgraded" a year or two ago.

"Upgraded" in quotes? You don't think the site is much better in the
last two years? I think it's got a lot more content that is easier to
find, and it looks great. Do you really wish we had the site from two
years ago?
