Thoughts on the Archives.

[-N-]

So this popped up during a discussion RSL and I were having about whether or not to archive the "wanker" thread. I brought up the point there were several spam threads that were archived; however, none of them were as long as the one just generated. While he did end up archiving it, he did propose a good question to me, which I would like to propose to you all in turn.

Do you go to the archives and read through 661 posts of spam to get off or something? Do you read the small threads? Large threads? Ones you participated in? Ones which you had nothing to do with? In short, what function do the Archives serve to you? Justify.

edit:
By the way, anyone who wanted that thread archived: You owe RSL and I big time.
