If that's the case, why has there been selective archiving? Why has Crystal Geezer's ludicrous vanity project thread remained given it's an ancient relic that needs to be archived/buried? [edit, that's the 'Off-Topic, but the point remains: Why archive 'The Pigsty' but not 'Off Topic'?]
It seems pretty clear to me that there's been an 'executive' decision to disrupt the narrative flow of this site without any explanation. Not that it's greatly exercises me but it does raises issues.
