Mourning the deletion of Paizo.com history

[Majuba]

So many blogs gone, links broken.

...what?

Majuba (and a lot of us) are upset about the loss of all the discussion posts that were attached to product pages or blog posts in the past. There was a lot of good info there that can no longer really be seen.

Is there a plan to recover these treasures? Or are they gone for good?

I had a discussion with Maya about this recently in this thread. My impression is that Maya is doing the best xe can, but I'm feeling rather disappointed with Paizo's tech team given how simple it looks like it should be to make those threads be readily accessible again.

I know of at least one effort to scrape the forums and preserve as many threads as possible. I’m not sure where the product discussions were in priority and if they were preserved before the change.

I am so happy to see this thread. As someone who believes the Forums are an incredible societal and game-information resource, any efforts to preserve and *maintain* threads, posts and conversations is to be applauded.
