Recently I've been wondering about the life cycle of these things we call message boards. Since I have little to no experience with them (MDB was the first board I participated on....last year), I wasn't around for the "death" of ZLMB (can we all agree it's dead?).....anyway I was wondering what happens to the archives of such a place......do they get lost to time, or does someone own them or what?
Just a thought....

Occasionally I do a google search on a subject and a ZLMB post will show up where the topic was discussed. So I guess theyre out there for future perusals by strangers. Posts here show up the same way.

But Z is still online, Gaz. That's why you're coming up with posts.
