Some Old Posts have been Archived

[caltang]

Hi - I’m trying to access a few links and I noticed I’m getting a lot more archived posts than usual. What’s going on?

EG:

• https://community.alteryx.com/t5/contentarchivals/contentarchivedpage/message-uid/437452

Is Alteryx undergoing some changes? @AlteryxCommunityTeam

Anyone...?

@caltang As a best practice the Community does archive content that is old and has not been viewed for quite some time.

Ah… would be great if there could be some notifier saying that content would be archived. For instance, an announcement comes out for archiving posts from Jan 2015… quite a lot of useful posts, some now archived and can’t be viewed. 

Wouldn’t that help back linking? Or does Alteryx community put some of the posts on Wayback Machine so people can still view if they need to?

It's understandable that archiving needs to take place but it's frustrating when a more current, unarchived reply links to an archived one.

Yeah that's the problem I have as well. The only way I found is either to view through a cached version via Google or see if anyone saved it in Wayback Machine. 

I also try to match the links pasted onto Google to see if I get the above two options. Usually cached sites work, but not sure how long those will last...
