People like to go on about how "The Internet never forgets" but there's a lot of material from the internet that's now lost to history. Especially in the mainstream infancy days of the 90s and early 00s.

And then there are hard drive losses...

Forum Maintenance! "...why not have a look back through our archive..."

"In the meantime, why not have a look back through our archive of over 40,000 message threads!"

Do you guys ever do this every now and again? Peek through the ~93,000 (OK - some deleted) threads? The way this forum is set up, threads tend to have a short(ened) lifespan, especially ones that spark discussion rather than merely showcase the newest release. Also, over the 20 years this forum's sat, the farther back you go, the more dead links and images you'll run into - you'll probably find yourself wondering what's more amazing: the stuff that's gone or the stuff that's still there.

Something that came to mind during forum maintenance.
