In Reply to: Important message board question - value of archives? posted by saint on 29, 2000 at 3:29 PM:
that's problematic, I just had to go to the archives to find the fix to the fried controller board problem on the Dreamcast. There's too much info that would be lost.
: UBBS looks very good. However, there's one important feature it appears to lack. There's no mechanism for taking old messages and archiving them as "back issues" so to speak. This would mean once the messages were purged, they'd be gone forever.

: Comments/thoughts? Right now there have been about 1000 hits on the message board archives page. Is this something people are willing to live without? How valuable are the archives? Anyone have an alternative suggestion?
