The Science Blogs Archive is not deleted

If you happened to try recently to get to one or more of the currently inactive yet still extant Scienceblogs.com blogs, you will have gotten an enigmatic message about how the blog is now archived or suspended.

That is a technical glitch. The blogs are still there even though you can't see them. In fact, for some people logged in a certain way, they can be visited.

I am assured that this is being looked into and will be fixed.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

There is a huge amount of really important and cool stuff in those blogs. The evolution of the science blogosphere happened there. It would be like deleting Olduvai Gorge!

But they are not deleted. Nothing can go wrong .... go wrong ... go wrong ....

A blog is software. Importantly: a blog is free software. Everyone can use it in any way they want. If there are 100 million blogs out there, there are 100 million blogging styles and 100 million ideas what blogging "is". And anyone who dares tell others how to do it incurs the wrath of the other…
When you hear SciBlings mention "our Seed Overlords", they are talking about Ginny, our new Commander-in-Chief and Royal Cat-herder. At the Science Blogging Conference three weeks ago, she herded (almost) 20 of us in Real Life to take the famous group photo. Welcome to A Blog Around The Clock.…

I'm still interested as to why every inactive blog seems to have gotten the 'archived or suspended' treatment except mine, which seems to have genuinely disappeared. Was I really so controversial?

Geology, you know. Very contentious politically. Not like that biology stuff.
