What are the archives? I see 'Guests' or bots etc "Viewing Archives" a lot.

These are the archives:

http://dsultimate.net/Board/upload/archive/index.php

They are text based versions of all topics and posts with no formatting, which is a feature the makers of this software put in to help search engines index the forum. If only that was a posting skin... as that would be basic enough for home sick Gamefaqers... LOL

BTW, Koopa you know, how do you view archives on GFAQs?

I've looked and can't find 'em.

You cannot view a Gamefaqs archive. Once posts are purged or deleted, they are gone forever. Or more precisely, are in an admin only database for a while, then gone forever. And unless someone like this guy:

CJayC (http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/user.php?board=11&topic=34460693&user=1)

promotes you who knows how much, chances are you'll miss the posts.

Oh, and anyone knew that supposedly, Gamefaqs banned someone called 'Seige a Sea' because it sounded somewhat like CJayC?

Yep. Then again, while I hate the deletion of old posts, I would not want to think what boards like Random Insanity (http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=403) would be like with 10 years of posts...

Oh, right. I'm just bored with the extreme inactivity in forums lately... especially these and mine.... and sometimes GameFAQs...

I know what you mean. Yours seem a bit dead, many of my affiliate site's forums are dead recently and Gamefaqs has been very slow on messages lately in some wifi boards...
