    Just curious. Kinda was getting nostalgic and wanted to read some old threads.

    no, they told us they were making it private for reference purposes or something. Maybe that's changed since then, but if so it makes me a sad panda.

    Archives usually represent things of which we are fond and proud. Eyes on the World was mostly a stew of negativity and hence not something we would like to hold up and say hey guys check this out good times eh.

    you could always indicate in the forum description that it was generally regarded as an unmitigated disaster, then. If they don't expect much, they won't judge the site negatively for its presence. xD

    Wasn't Bleys adminned so he could do one thing and then he was just never deadminned?

    I know Unne was temp-adminned for like a week. By "week" Cid apparently meant "two years."

    The words sweep, under and rug come to mind with EotW. You don't see it so it's best to forget about it.
