Desert Snake has a good point...

How much of the legacy of this Forum is gone or inaccessible already?

It looks as if the content has been pared down, but there was a lot of significant information accumulated over the years. Some of it will not be duplicated again.

Maybe the older stuff can be reached here, but my impression is that it cannot. Consider how far back a search can be run. If I am wrong about this and just need to learn how to access the "ancient" stuff, that is OK.

Apart from whatever drivel we might have created over past years, the really good stuff is still worth keeping. If we hope that coming generations will appreciate the knives, we might provide them with a full record and all the reasons for doing so.
