    Update on Politics (Archive)
    All but 20 or 30 threads were moved to the new forum, all that remains now is the old structure with the forum names as well as previously redirected markers from threads moved to other forums. So in terms of the big loss, there is no loss, threads were moved to the new Politics.
    I can't see any of these threads though? If you do 'find all posts' on a username and look back far enough, the only posts that show are the 'Discussion on the Rules' thread - so just about everything is missing.

    If everything is all there, it doesn't seem to be searchable.

    I'll restore it for a day tomorrow morning to show in the politics forum. Maybe you'll see something I don't.

    Cheers.

    Ok, restored now.

    And I think I see what you mean... the threads in the top level forum, not the sub forum. Good catch.
    I'll check with the mods what they want to do with these threads.

    Ya that seems to have made it all visible again now - all of the posts in the archive were not viewable at all, whether logged in or logged out, until you restored it there - and they should all be kept around really, so that they are indexable by Google and in general, searchable - so ya, I guess see where the mods want all of that placed, while still keeping it all in public view.

    I moved them originally to keep the structure clear thinking all posts had been moved over, but as above I missed the top level forum.
    After chatting to some of the mods they like you are keen to keep these threads so I'll attempt to do a mass move tomorrow and then in a few days I'll remove the then empty archives (pending confirmation they're empty). Again good catch

    Cheers

    The threads that were open have been moved over. The closed ones are being moved now.
