The more I dig, the more I realize that the untold tragedy of losing so many sites is that they rob all their members of the chance to go back and see who they were back then... what videogames and TV shows they liked, what music they were into, etc.

Yep, absolutely true. We need to preserve sites as much as possible or we're just going to lose everything.

The more the better!
Yep... 15 years worth of posting saved.
