Yes, the archives are there, BUT the links you may have saved previously are basically useless. The address they point to no longer exists.
The only thing people can do is, if they are looking for a special thread in the archives, do a search and then if found repost sometime in a new thread when the subject comes up again, as they usually do. The oldtimers will be able to recognize when a topic is a returnee and can help seek out the old posts in the new archive. Eventually we may be able to reclaim some of the best thread referrrals.
