I think that's slightly unfair; communication in that thread has hardly
been exemplary on either side (although perfectly in keeping with the
nature of the Immoderate List). There is, I'd agree, a reasonable
question in all this about continued access to the old archives -
although my impression is that they've replied that the archives are
still available in read-only form. I don't use the forums at all,
because I find them too inconvenient, so, honestly, I don't know what's
there, but if it's all still available for free over the internet, does
it really matter? And, apparently, it's being transferred to the newer
location at some point, as well, so that it's currently in two different
locations is a temporary thing.
Or is there something I've missed about information having been or being
about to be deleted, whether through accident or malice?

Certainly, a lot of the changes (use of forums, for instance) have been
unhelpful to me, but I'm not sure I can criticise them for using their
preferred means of communication, and I'm not aware of hard evidence
that these changes have harmed Glorantha. (If there is such evidence,
though, it would, of course, be interesting to see). I mean, look, I'm
pretty unhappy with a lot of decisions MD have taken over the last few
years, but you learn to live with it, and I don't see it as necessarily
harmful just because I don't like it.
