I clicked my bookmark to the otrarchive.bolgspot and the Google sign-in page came up. I signed in, but the message said I didn't have permission. What happened? How do I access that site? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I'm so sorry it turned into such a nightmare. I've really enjoyed your site - everything was organized so well and easy to find. I appreciate all of the hard work you put into it, and thank you for all of the happy hours I've spent listening to the programs.
because some people mistakenly donated money to TimesPast after visiting the mirror of the free OTRR library (http://otrrlibrary.org) at the blogspot site, the site was taken down (by Google or Times Past, i assume.)
i hope and assume that this was just a misunderstanding. it's hard to imagine that Robert or anyone would intentionally bamboozle anyone. clearly identifying content is very important, especially when donations are solicited. in the future it would be wise to coordinate with OTRR before mirroring their content.
I had one page out of 100's on the Times Past public blog promoting OTRR research group. It was not on the front page except a link to the OTRR promotion page.
I had the Link to the OTRR blog posted and the so called mirroring was the public rss feed from the the very bottom of their blog http://www.otrrlibrary.org/lib_blog.html it says " Entries (rss)"
Also listed were some off-site links to the Librarry.
I do not think Jim even exactly understands it is there or what it is for. The rss feed is intended for people to follow the blog.
On the Main page here at Ning there is rss feeds listed showing latest content from internet archive of the latest OTR and Video. I have always used public RSS feeds to quickly view latest new content.
I have always supported OTRR and was truly just promoting their cause. I had no advertising on the blog, and have never sold any shows. OTR is meant to be listen to, not profited from. I also had posted in RED that all content was for personal non-commercial use.
The only reason the donate button was even on the public blog site was to help out with the cost of the Times Past social site here on the Ning Platform. It was the same donate button that is here on the Ning site. Ning use to be free at one time and there never was a donate button.
Jim called me a thief on his blog without even contacting me at all. I just took the blog off line myself. I think Jim meant well.
If anyone was mistaken that visited the Times Past blog, they probably were not even aware of OTRR until I introduced them. I have been contacted often by people with shows to donate and always referred them to Jim at OTRR.
Everything I do here is just a hobby that I enjoy.

If you also look on the right hand column there http://www.otrrlibrary.org/lib_blog.html under "OTRR Sites" you will see Times Past listed there.
