Do you enjoy digging through the Webarchive?

Ugh! Seriously? Why?
Sadly when people spend too much time in a vacuum and aren't exposed to ideas outside of what they know, when they're suddenly exposed to those ideas it really offends them. To this day I'm STILL the second highest poster on that forum, lol. They also refused to bring on a moderator because the most qualified person on the forum was...oh, that's right, it was me! I left and guess what?! Suddenly they have a moderator, lol. Bigotry. Gotta' love it. Ah well, it is what it is. No point lamenting it or worrying about it.
Reminds me of a place (I'm very tempted to name them, but I won't) that made the person who beat me to the Member of the Year award (!) leave under the threat of banning (!!) because they came out as being gay (!!!).
I feel their pain. I'm sorry that they had to deal with that.

You and I have a bunch in common, I must say... I was also forced to leave a forum in which I was (and still am) the top topic creator because they were suddenly not cool with me.

Yeah... this person came to hang out on my forum for a while, then left the internet altogether.

People are odd at times, aren't they? Ah well, I'll take someone I get along with any day, and you're fun to chat with :)

I hate when that happens. The good ones get chased away and we lose touch with them. Such a shame!
 
Ugh. Leave our archive alone!! The downside to people. Always people that can't stand having central archives or data.
Yeah. This is like the third attack it suffers.

I know they technically host some "illegal" stuff in there, but what damage does it do to have them preserve someone's profile from 2002, damn it?

Yeah, leave it be! It's an archive or content, it doesn't matter what it archives.
