I re-read old archived threads from long ago occationally, for a chuckle or two. I see archiving old Eyes on Yous and the like to be pointless, like Del said. I can't really see them being interesting except to the person it's about.
Yeah. Although to be fair, I have gone through some old Eyes on You threads to find out something about someone, like their age if they don't have it in their profile or something like that. But yes. It's very rare.

Most of the threads in the main archive are either worth keeping, new or put there for the sake of a few people who would murder me if I moved them out. I agree that the one linked should be thrown out, though. But then also occasionally some threads are archived after only a few posts and while they aren't amazing things that everyone will remember fondly or something like that, they're hilarious to read over anyway (generally the ones Kishi archives).

As for all the ones that didn't make it, that's why we have the stickied thread in the main archive right now. I miss 101 Reasons to Hate Dr Unne.
