Old Archives Offline (For Now)

I’ve just taken down blog posts from June 2011 and earlier, at least for the moment.

These were leftover pages published via Blogger and Movable Type platforms that are no longer in operation, which means they couldn’t be edited or updated except manually. At 15 years old or more, these posts were of limited value, particularly since a lot of them link to pages that are no longer online. They’ve also been getting an order of magnitude more visits from bots than from human beings of late, which is concerning for a number of reasons.

This may be a temporary move. I’m mulling over importing at least some of these posts to the main site, in which case old URLs will be auto-forwarded to their new locations.
