Omg
I logged on to the forums today, and where it used to link to the old I and M, there was nothing. NOTHING. What happened?
There was no post in announcements about this happening, either.

Why not? There were thousands of old topics in there, probably causing a lot of grief to the server

From what I can understand, the Scratch Team felt that the forums were getting too complex/confusing, due to having so many categories. They decided to crop the archives out, as they aren't really used for reference any more, in order to simplify the layout a little

I guess multiple forums are confusing for new members. It seems like a good move. The server will benefit, too.
